Related Product Information for HBcAg recombinant protein
Description: Recombinant full length human Hepatitis BcAg protein.
Background: HBcAg (core antigen) is a hepatitis B viral protein. It is an indicator of active viral replication; this means the person infected with Hepatitis B can likely transmit the virus on to another person (i.e. the person is infectious). Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core antigen (HBcAg)-specific CD4(+) T-cell responses are believed to play an important role in the control of human HBV infection. HBcAg-specific CD4(+) Th1-type T cells can modulate the function and exert a regulatory role in deleting HBcAg-binding, or -specific, human B cells in vivo, which may be of importance in controlling the infection

Product Notes
The HBcAg (Catalog #AAA59088) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E. coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's HBcAg can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HBcAg for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "HBcAg, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
