Abstract excerpt
Investigation of the mechanisms underlying hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoprotein gene evolution will greatly assist rational development of broadly neutralizing antibody-based vaccines or vaccine components. Previously, comprehensive cross-genotype evolutionary studies of E1E2 have not been possible due to the paucity of full-length envelope gene sequences representative of all major HCV genotypes (1-6)...
