Recombinant Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) (ayw/France/Tiollais/1979) Capsid protein (His Tag)

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly is a critical step in the propagation of the virus and is mediated by the core protein. The first cytoplasmic step in the formation of an infectious HBV virion is the formation of a capsid containing pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) and the viral polymerase (Pol) . HBV capsid assembly is an attractive target for new antiviral therapies.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
