Recombinant HEV Mosaic ORF2/ORF3

HEV Mosaic protein although stable at 4C for 1 week, should be stored below -18C. Please prevent freeze thaw cycles.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the major etiologic agent of enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis worldwide, is a spherical, non-enveloped, single stranded RNA virus that is approximately 32 to 34 nm in diameter. HEV belongs to a genus of HEV-like viruses (unassigned genus). HEV has a single-stranded polyadenylated RNA genome of approximately 8 kb. Based on its physicochemical properties it is presumed to be a calici-like virus. The, E. coli, derived HEV Mosaic protein contains 12 HEV immunodominant regions from ORF2 and ORF3 having a MW = 38.5 kDa.

Immunoreactive with sera HEV-infected individuals.
