		Technical Data
H1900-01M	Hepatitis A Virus, HM175 (HAV)

Description:
Hepatitis A is a wide-spread infectious disease, resulting from infection of the liver by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV). Hepatitis A infection causes jaundice, fever, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, headache and fatigue. Some cases may be fatal. The virus is mainly transmitted by the faecal-oral route via contaminated food or drinking water. The HAV is a picornavirus that replicates slowly without noticeable interference to host cell macro-molecular synthesis and, consequently, without apparent cytopathic effect. The liver pathology observed is likely to be immune-mediated.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
