Abstract excerpt
A large share of hepatitis C virus amino acid sequence variation is concentrated within two hypervariable regions located at the N-terminus of the E2 envelope glycoprotein (HVR1 and HVR2). Interhost and intrahost comparison of 391 E2 sequences derived from 17 subjects infected with HCV using amino acid entropy revealed clustering of amino acid variability at a third site (residues 431-466), which was termed HVR3....
