Allgemeine Beschreibung

amino acids 1-183 of HBV core antigen.

Biochem./physiol. Wirkung

HBcAg core human is a capsid protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV). It acts as a viral factor for HBV clearance. HBcAg is implicated in viral replication.[1]

Hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) is a positive control for human HBV antibodies.In humans with chronic HBV (hepatitis B virus) infection, cytotoxic effects of blood T lymphocytes can be suppressed by incubating cells with antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg).[2] The antigen can also work as a T-cell independent antigen in athymic mice. However, it is an efficient immunogen, resulting in T-cell activation and increased anti-HBc levels.[3] High cytoplasmic/membranous expression of HBcAg is associated with increased liver inflammation.[4]
