Nonstructural 3 (NS3) protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the antigens commonly used in diagnostic assays for antibody to hepatitis C virus. However, immune response to the NS3 protein from one genotype may not cross-react with that from other genotypes. In the development of an anti-HCV assay, the NS3 genes from genotypes 1 and 3 commonly found in Thailand were amplified and cloned into a bacterial...
