Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: A prophylactic vaccine is required to eliminate HCV as a global public health threat. We developed whole virus inactivated HCV vaccine candidates employing a licensed adjuvant. Further, we investigated the effects of HCV envelope protein modifications (to increase neutralization epitope exposure) on immunogenicity. METHODS: Whole virus vaccine antigen was produced in Huh7.5 hepatoma cells,...
