Hep B sAg Antibody (HB3) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Hep B sAg of Hepatitis B by immunofluorescence (IF). Hep B sAg is a crucial protein antigen produced by the Hepatitis B virus, which belongs to the Hepadnavirus family and causes significant liver inflammation, jaundice, and in severe cases, death. Hep B sAg presence in the bloodstream serves as one of the earliest indicators of Hepatitis B infection, appearing before clinical symptoms manifest. Early detection enables timely diagnosis and management of the disease, as Hepatitis B infection increases risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma, with over 250 million people currently infected worldwide. HBx protein, encoded by one of four open reading frames in the virus′s partially double-stranded 3.2 kilobase DNA genome, influences viral replication and host immune response. Anti-Hep B sAg antibody (HB3) serves as an essential tool for researchers and clinicians studying Hepatitis B virus infections and liver health implications.
