Signatures of VH1-69-derived hepatitis C virus neutralizing antibody precursors defined by binding to envelope glycoproteins
7 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract An effective preventive vaccine for hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a major unmet need. Antigenic region 3 (AR3) on the E1E2 envelope glycoprotein complex overlaps with the CD81 receptor binding site and represents an important epitope for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and is therefore important for HCV vaccine design. Most AR3 bNAbs utilize the V H 1-69 gene and share structural features that...
