The antigen is a protein that binds specifically on one of these surface proteins. It is commonly referred to as the Australian Antigen. Recombinant HbsAg ayw full length is a 24kD protein cloned from HBV 320 genome.
Source:Recombinant protein corresponding to full-length HBsAg, expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisae.
Molecular Weight:~24kD
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA (with anti-HBsAg antibodies (capture and conjugate)), Immunochromatography (capture and conjugate) and as an Immunogen for monoclonal antibody production. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
