Goat Anti-HCV type A, B Nonstructural Protein 5 Polyclonal antibody for WB, ELISA. Suitable for use in Western blot immunoassay (1:100) and ELISA. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application. Other applications have not been tested but use in such assays should not necessarily be excluded.HCV is classified into the genus Hepacivirus of the family Flaviviridae. Like all the members of the family, HCV is an enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. Its genome (about 9600 nt) is flanked at both termini by conserved, highly structured non-translated regions (NTRs) and encodes a polyprotein precursor (about 3000 aa), which is proteolytically processed by host and viral proteases to produce the structural (core, E1, E2 and p7) and non-structural (NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B) proteins of the virus. Recently, an additional protein has been identified, whose function remains unknown.
