Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection May Elicit Neutralizing Antibodies Targeting Epitopes Conserved in All Viral Genotypes
10 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) cross-neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies, directed against conserved epitopes on surface E2 glycoprotein, are central tools for understanding virus-host interplay, and for planning strategies for prevention and treatment of this infection. Recently, we developed a research aimed at identifying these antibody specificities. The characteristics of one of these antibodies (Fab e20)...
