Abstract excerpt
The putative envelope protein E2 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most variable antigenic fragment in the whole viral genome and is responsible mainly for the large inter- and intra-individual heterogeneity of the infecting virus. To analyze variation and immunogenicity of HCV envelope genes of HCV strains from China, the serum samples from 12 Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis C from 10 cities of China...
