Question (9208) | Anti-Hepatitis B Virus Core Antigen antibody [C1] (ab8637)

Thank you for your enquiry. I was able to obtain the following information regarding the use of these antibodies in ELISA. Ab8255 and Ab2045: These antibodies have been tested in ELISA with the native antigen. The antibodies can be used as a pair in sandwich ELISA. Both clones can work as capture and as detection antibodies. Ab8638, Ab8637, and Ab8639: These antibodies work well with a recombinant or natural HBcAg adsorbed on a plate, or in sandwich ELISA. Also, they work well with the synthetic HBcAg peptides. Below is one reference: Bichko et al. Epitopes recognized by antibodies to denatured core protein of hepatitis B virus.
