The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A gene product is a phosphorylated 56- to 58kD nonstructural protein that displays a multitude of activities related to enhancement of viral pathogenesis. Although associated with other viral encoded proteins as part of the viral replicase complex positioned on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum, a role for NS5A in viral replication has not been defined. Truncated versions of NS5A can act as transcriptional activators, while other recently characterized interactions of NS5A with cellular proteins indicate its pleiotropic role in HCV-host interactions. Recombinant protein corresponding to NS5 antigen of HCV, fused to GST-Tag, expressed in E. coli. Fine Specificity: NS5a region Molecular Weight: ~38kD Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Positive control for H1920-28A. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilution determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4C. Do not freeze. Aliquots are stable for 6 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
