Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequences of cDNAs (414 base pairs) encoding parts of putative envelope proteins (gp35 and gp70) of 40 isolates of hepatitis C virus (HCV-J) derived from 30 independent plasma or liver specimens from Japanese patients (13 with chronic hepatitis, 14 with hepatocellular carcinoma and...
