## Abstract C35β44 peptide is a well known HLAβA2βrestricted CTL epitope originating from hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein. It was reported that the majority of HCV positive patients had significant levels of serum IgG specific to this peptide. This study addressed whether C35β44 peptide could
## Abstract Conformational Bβcell epitopes on the HCV E2 protein recognized by human antibodies were characterized by the use of a peptide mimotope named K1. K1 was identified by two HCV antiβE2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) following selection and purification of phage clones containing a 15βmer ra
