Invitrogen™ Hepatitis B Virus E Monoclonal Antibody (J17H)

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ MA17376

Catalog No. MA17376

Description

The MA1-7376 antibody reacts with Hepatitis B virus E antigen in viral and infected tissue samples. MA1-7376 has been successfully used in ELISA applications. The MA1-7376 antibody was raised against the HBV E antigen.

Hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) is a viral protein associated with HBV infections. Unlike the surface antigen, the e-antigen is found in the blood only when there are viruses also present. When the virus goes into hiding, the e-antigen will no longer be present in the blood. HBeAg is often used as a marker of ability to spread the virus to other people (infectivity). Measurement of e-antigen may also be used to monitor the effectiveness of HBV treatment; successful treatment will usually eliminate HBeAg from the blood and lead to development of antibodies against e-antigen (anti-HBe). There are some types (strains) of HBV that do not make e-antigen; these are especially common in the Middle East and Asia. In areas where these strains of HBV are common, testing for HBeAg is not very useful.
