Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genomes show sequence diversities among virus isolates. In particular, the putative envelope region encoding gp35 and gp70 shows on extensive sequence diversity in the whole viral genome. We identified two hypervariable regions [HVR1 (27 amino acids) and HVR2 (7 amino acid...
