HBsAg Antibody (HB3) [Janelia Fluor® 646] Summary

• Immunogen: Purified HBsAg from human plasma.
• Specificity: The antibody HB3 recognizes following Hepatitis B virus (HBV) subtypes: ayw2, ayw3, ayw4, ayr, adw2, adw4, adrq+, adrq-. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a marker of infectivity. Specificity of the antibody HB3 was verified by ELISA on panel of virus subtypes identified on International Workshop on HBsAg Subtypes (Paris, April 1975). The antibody HB3 does not cross-block with the antibody HB5.

Background

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection induces a disease state which manifests itself in a variety of ways, characterized by the extent of liver damage, inflammation and viral persistence. HBV infection is also associated with a 100 fold increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and currently infects over 250 million people worldwide. HBV has a partially double stranded 3.2 kilobase DNA genome which contains four open reading frames. One of these encodes a 154 amino acid protein called the HBx protein. HBx has been shown to be a transcriptional transactivator of both viral and cellular promoters. Lacking a DNA binding domain and nuclear localization signal, HBx is believed to exert transcriptional activity through protein protein interaction.
