Hepatitis Virus Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JC-BE-5223
The Hepatitis Virus Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model illustrating the structure of the hepatitis B virus, one of several viruses that cause viral hepatitis. Designed for microbiology and virology laboratories, this hepatitis virus teaching model presents the distinctive double-shelled particle associated with this important human pathogen.
The complete, infectious hepatitis B virus particle, known as the Dane particle, has a double-shelled structure. Its outer envelope carries the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), while an inner icosahedral nucleocapsid core contains the hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) surrounding the viral genome. The genome itself is a partially double-stranded, circular DNA molecule, associated with a viral DNA polymerase enzyme that also carries reverse transcriptase activity, a feature that distinguishes hepatitis B from most other DNA viruses. While hepatitis B is the species most often used to illustrate this classic structure, other hepatitis viruses, such as hepatitis A, C, D and E, are structurally distinct RNA viruses. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents the hepatitis B viral structure enlarged for classroom study.
