Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a hepatitis virus antigen, in particular to a hepatitis E virus antigen, its antigen composition, and a kit and application containing the antigen or antigen composition. Background technique
[0002] HEV is a non-enveloped single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus with a genome length of about 7.2kb and three open reading frames (ORFs), which are non-coding regions (NCR), ORF1, ORF2, ORF3 and 3' UTR and PolyA tail. Among them, ORF3 overlaps with an amino acid at the C-terminus of ORF1 and part of the N-terminal amino acids of ORF2. ORF1 encodes 1690 amino acids, mainly non-structural proteins related to viral replication. ORF2 encodes 660 amino acids and is a structural protein of the virus. ORF3 encodes 123 amino acids, and its function is not yet clear. At present, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has not yet classified it accurately.
