Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a major global health burden, and no vaccine preventing chronic infection is available. The envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2, form a complex essential for viral entry; however, the mechanisms governing E1/E2 assembly and stability remain incompletely defined. Here, we investigated the role of the E1/E2 transmembrane (TM) regions in HCV infectivity using chimeras of...
