摘要:
A pair of PCR primers designed so that the regions 1701 to 1794 of a human hepatitis B virus are selectively amplified and represented by, for example, SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 2; and DNA fragments (standards) consisting of the regions 1701 to 1794 of a human hepatitis B virus and represented by, for example, SEQ ID NOS: 3 to 8. The use of the same makes it possible to conduct genotyping of variations in the Pre-C region of a human hepatitis B virus genome and assaying of each genotype simultaneously therewith.

摘要:
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-stimulating peptides induce HLA-restricted responses to hepatitis B virus antigens. The peptides, derived from CTL epitopic regions of both HBV surface and nucleocapsid antigens, are particularly useful in the treatment and prevention of HBV infection, including the treatment of chronically infected HBV carriers. The peptides can be formulated as HBV vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions, such as lipid-containing compositions for enhancing the HLA-restricted CTL responses. The peptides are also useful in diagnostic methods, such as predicting which HBV-infected individuals are prone to developing chronic infection.
摘要:
The invention provides reagents, methods and kits for amplifying and detecting U.S., Japan, and HCV-C prototype nucleic acids.Oligonucleotides primers can be used to amplify and detect Hepatitis C virus nucleic acids in a process that involves reverse transcription of the viral genomic RNA to create cDNA and the subsequent amplification of the cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction. Oligonucleotide probes can be used to detect the presence of amplified DNA by hybridization.
摘要:
The present invention provides polynucleotides derived from cDNA of novel type of hepatitis C virus named KHCV, polypeptides encoded therein, and antibodies directed against the polypeptides; and also provide diagnostics and vaccines employing any of the above materials as active ingredient(s).
