Abstract excerpt
It has been postulated that antibodies specific to the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) within the putative envelop protein E2 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) can neutralize virus. We studied such antibodies in sera of patients who were infected in a single-source outbreak by a contaminated anti-D immunoglobulin preparation (HCV-AD78). The nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding HVR1 of HCV-AD78 were determined. The four...
