pCMV-HE Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Epsilon RNA Expression Plasmid
This pCMV-HE plasmid contains the coding sequence for the hepatitis B virus (HBV) epsilon RNA, which is the viral RNA packaging signal as well as the origin of reverse transcription, in the pcDNA3 backbone.
Highlights:
- Can be used to express the HBV RNA element in mammalian cells
Hepatitis B virus is a species of the genus Orthohepadnavirus, which is likewise a part of the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses. This virus causes the disease hepatitis B that attacks the liver and can be prevented by getting vaccinated.
