Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of sequence variability between different genotypes of HCV on the antigenic properties of the NS5a protein of strong antigenic region at position 2212-2313 by using recombinant proteins. METHODS: Thirteen representative sequences from HCV genotypes 1 to 6 were selected to design synthetic genes encoding for this antigenic region. These genes were assembled by PCR from synthetic...
