Description

Hcv Nucleoprotein (88-96) CAS NO 171926-86-6 is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to residues 88-96 of the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) nucleoprotein, a key antigenic region. This high-purity peptide is critical for immunological research and diagnostic assay development, offering a defined target for antibody binding studies. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturers focused on virology and infectious disease.

Application

• Immunological Research: Used as a specific antigen to study host immune responses, T-cell epitope mapping, and B-cell recognition against HCV.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Serves as a critical coating antigen or capture reagent in the development of ELISA, chemiluminescence immunoassays (CLIA), and lateral flow tests for HCV antibody detection.
• Vaccine Research: Employed in the evaluation and design of peptide-based vaccine candidates targeting the HCV nucleocapsid.
• Antibody Production & Characterization: Used to immunize animals for polyclonal or monoclonal antibody generation and to screen hybridomas for specificity.
• Quality Control Reference Standard: Acts as a well-defined reference material for calibrating and validating diagnostic kits and research reagents.
• Biomarker Discovery: Utilized in proteomic and serologic studies to identify novel biomarkers associated with HCV infection stages.

Quality Control

Our Hcv Nucleoprotein (88-96) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and mass spectrometry (MS) for identity confirmation, ensuring consistency and reliability for critical research and diagnostic applications. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, peptide content, and solvent residues are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a freezer. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
