Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although the polyproteins of hepatitis C virus(HCV) are processed and formed in nearly equimolar amounts, individual functional proteins have a discrepancy in their time of appearance following HCV infection and eliciting immune response. This study was conducted to compare the reactivity toward regional specific HCV protein in relation to virological characteristics, including HCV genotype and HCV...
