Hepatitis B Surface Antigen adr subType, SaccharoMyces (Recombinant)

Recombinant Hepatitis B Surface Antigen adr subtype, Saccharomyces

Source: Saccharomyces cerevisae

Background: HBsAg is the surface antigen of the Hepatitis-B-Virus (HBV). The capsid of 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 a s the Australian Antigen. recombinant HBsAg adr full length monomeric protein contains 227 amino acids of the S-gene a moleuclar weight of 24 kDa. Small amounts of dimer and trimer forms also exist int he solution.
