  • Description

    Mouse monoclonal [HB5] 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 HB5 was verified by ELISA on panel of International Workshop on HBsAg Subtypes (Paris, April 1975). This antibody does not cross-block with ab8256 and is therefore suitable for use with ab8256 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.

    Question

    Hi Abcam Tech Support Team,

    May I know which Human HBsAg Monoclonal antibody (i.e. ab110600, ab54247 and ab20724) binds to all four serotypes of Hepatitis B virus?

    I look forward to receiving your reply soon. Many thanks in advance!

    Best regards,

    Answer

    Thank you for your email.
    We do offer a variety of antibodies that will recognize the four major serotypes: adr, adw, ayr, ayw.
    If it has been tested which serotype is recognizwed by an antibody this information can be found on the datasheet in the "specificity" section.
    Here is a non- exhaustive list of antibodies that bind all four major serotypes. They have even been characterized further and the datasheet will tell you the serotype subtypes (e.g. ayw2, ayw3, ayw4, ayr, adw2, adw4, adrq+, adrq-)also.

    Which antibody is the most suitable for experiments depends on your samples and the planned application.
    We encourage customers to consult the latest literature available through PubMed and other resources in order to find the most up-to-date information about this specific research topic.
    I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesiate to contact me again with anyfurther questions.

    Question

    I am interested in developing an Elisa to quantify mouse antibody titres against HBs virus and I am looking for a source of antibody to use as a positive control, I would be interested if you could tell me more information about the mouse monoclonal antibodies against HBs, and if you supply them in France and their price in euro. Thank you.
