Host species
Mouse -
Specificity
This antibody reacts with HBV Core Antigen (Major antigenic determinant, c1). Ab8637 should recognize both the precoreprotein and core protein. It will not recognize the precorprotein under native conditions, because this protein can not self assemble into particles.
Ab8637 was raised against serotype ayw but will work with all other genotypes.

General notes
This product was raised against native assembled HBV core (HBV capsid, or particulated core).
For denaturing western blots and denaturing Immunofluorescence we would recommend one of the following:
Anti-Hepatitis B Virus Core Antigen antibody [10E11] (ab8639)
Anti-Hepatitis B Virus Core Antigen antibody [14E11] (ab8638)
These products are raised to the same, but denatured, HBcAg protein sequence thus have more robust activity.
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.
