Various HCV-Core ELISA kit options are available that can streamline experiments for infectious disease research. The hepatitis C virus core protein, or HCV-core, is a structural protein that initiates the formation of the virus nucleocapsid. The mature protein is monomeric, 21-kDa in size, and has lipid and RNA binding functions. About half of the protein is understood to adopt an alpha-helical conformation. ELISA kits for the detection of HCV-Core antigens or antibodies generally come prepackaged with pre-coated strips or microplates and associated reagents. For more details, visit the supplier page.
