HBVsAg adw2

SKU: orb97990

Description

Recombinant HBVsAg adw antigen was mutated by replacing the Methionine residue at position 133 HBsAg is the surface antigenof the Hepatitis-B-Virus (HBV). The capsidof a virus has different surface proteins from the rest of the virus. The antigen is a protein that binds specifically on one of these surface proteins. It is commonly referred to as the Australian Antigen. HbsAg subtype adw2 produced in E.coli, is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 226 amino acids and having a molecular weight of approximately 23.0 kDa. HBsAg adw2 migrates on SDS-PAGE as a 23 kDa monomer band with minor amounts of dimer (46 kDa) and trimer (69 kDa) forms. The HBsAg is fused to a 6 His tag on C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
