Background:  

Type E hepatitis virus (HEV) is transmitted through fecal-oral route.  In developing country with hot climate, HEV outbreak is common with a high mortality in pregnant woman. The virus has a 7.6kb positive sense single strained RNA genome enclosed in a capsid without envelope.   There are three open reading frames (ORFs) on HEV genome.  ORF1 encodes protease, methyl-transferase, helicase and replicase.  ORF2 encodes capsid protein.  The function of the protein encoded by ORF3 is undefined.

Application: 

ELISA: React with immunogen.
