Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) exhibits significant genetic diversity and is a cause of severe liver complications. The viral envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2, key targets for neutralizing antibodies, are highly variable. To understand how host and viral genetic factors modulate antibody responses, we analyze genetic and antibody binding and neutralization data from 54 patients infected with HCV genotype 3a. We find...
