摘要:
The present invention discloses nucleic acid sequences which encode infectious hepatitis C viruses and the use of these sequences, and polypeptides encoded by all or part of these sequences, in the development of vaccines and diagnostics for HCV and in the development of screening assays for the identification of antiviral agents for HCV.
摘要:
The present invention discloses nucleic acid sequence which encodes infectious hepatitis C virus of strain HC-J6CH, genotype 2a, and the use of the sequence, and polypeptides encoded by all or part of the sequence, in the development of vaccines and diagnostics for HCV and in the development of screening assays for the identification of antiviral agents for HCV.
摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequence which comprises the genome of an infectious GB virus B clone. The invention also relates to the use of the nucleic acid sequence of the infectious GB virus B clone to indirectly study the molecular properties of HCV, and in the production of HCV/GBV-B chimeras. The invention further relates to the use of the infectious nucleic acid sequence of GB virus B clone and the HCV/GBV-B chimeras in the development of vaccines and therapeutics for HCV.

摘要:
The present invention relates to molecular approaches to the production of nucleic acid sequences which comprise the genomes of chimeric hepatitis C virus-bovine viral diarrhea viruses (HCV-BVDV). The invention also relates to the use of these chimeric nucleic acid sequences to produce chimeric virions in cells and the use of these chimeric virions in HCV antibody neutralization assays, and for the development of vaccines and therapeutics for HCV.
摘要:
The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of hypervariable region 1 of the envelope 2 gene of 49 isolates of hepatitis C are disclosed. The invention relates to the use of these sequences to design proteins and nucleic acid sequences useful in diagnostic methods and vaccines.
摘要:
The invention relates to anti-HCV antibodies and more specifically to neutralizing anti-HCV antibodies and their variable and complementarity determining regions (CDR). In particular, the neutralizing anti-HCV antibodies are neutralizing anti-HCV envelope protein 1 (HCV E1) antibodies. Also subject of the invention are compositions comprising these antibodies, CDRs or variable regions, and compounds comprising at least one of the CDRs or variable regions of said antibodies. Further subject of the invention are the application of any of said antibodies, CDRs, variable regions or compounds in HCV prophylaxis, therapy, and diagnosis, as well as methods for producing the antibodies.
