Abstract excerpt
We analysed the genomic and conformational variability of the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) to evaluate the importance of its biological role. A total of 865 genotype 1b HVR1 subclones were collected from serially sampled sera in 11 patients with chronic hepatitis C, four of whom received interferon therapy. Consequently, 169 distinct sequences were examined for amino acid...
