Abstract excerpt
We previously identified two hypervariable regions [HVR1 (27 amino acids) and HVR2 (7 amino acids)] in the putative envelope glycoprotein (gp70) by comparison of the amino acid sequences of many isolates of the HCV-II genotype. To understand the functional features of these HVRs, using the polymerase chain reaction we analyzed the rate of actual sequence variability in the region including HVR1 and HVR2 of HCV...
