HEV ORF2 (aa 452 - 617)

The Hepatitis E Virus ORF2 antigen contains a high basic amino acid content, suggesting that it may be involved in the encapsidation of the genomic RNA by effectively neutralizing the negatively charged RNA. Hepatitis E virus is the causative agent of Hepatitis E. The viral particles are 27 to 34 nanometers in diameter, are non-enveloped and contain a single-strand of positive-sense RNA that is approximately 7300 bases in length. The virus particle was first visualised in 1983 but was only molecularly cloned in 1990. https://www.creative-diagnostics.com/ORF2-HEV-124356-343.htm
