Description: The protein contains the HCV nucleocapsid, NS3, NS4, and NS5 immunodominant regions. Combined Hepatitis C Virus protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Background: Sequences from 4 gene products (proteins) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) were scanned by using 3 different PCR-based techniques in search of the most immunoreactive regions suitable for the development of a diagnostic test for the detection of anti-HCV in human sera. All PCR fragments were cloned with pGEX4-2T expression vector and expressed in E. coli as chimeric proteins with glutathione S-transferase. The most diagnostically relevant proteins identified in this study were then constructed into one recombinant antigen.
Specificity: Immunoreactive with sera of HCV-infected individuals.
Antigen in ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for detection of HCV with minimal specificity problems.
