Description
Mouse monoclonal [HB3] to Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen -
Host species
Mouse -
Specificity
Recognizes following Hepatitis B virus subtypes:ayw2, ayw3, ayw4, ayr, adw2, adw4, adrq+, adrq-. Specificity of MAb HB3 was verified by ELISA on panel of International Workshop on HBsAg Subtypes (Paris, April 1975). This antibody does not cross-block with ab8333 and is therefore suitable for use with ab8333 as a matched pair. -

Relevance
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection induces a disease state which manifests itself in a variety of ways, characterized by the extent of liver damage, inflammation and viral persistence. HBV infection is also associated with a 100 fold increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and currently infects over 250 million people worldwide. HBV has a partially double stranded 3.2 kilobase DNA genome which contains four open reading frames. One of these encodes a 154 amino acid protein called the HBx protein. HBx has been shown to be a transcriptional transactivator of both viral and cellular promoters. Lacking a DNA binding domain and nuclear localization signal, HBx is believed to exert transcriptional activity through protein protein interaction. -
