How Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) causes persistent infection is unknown. One hypothesis is that HCV evades the host immune response through mutation in immune epitopes. We have investigated mutations in the HCV genome to see if they cluster within immune epitopes; and we have studied the effect of antibo

Second-generation assays for detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that include reactivity of antibodies to core, NS3, NS4 are used because of their high sensitivity. Among these antibodies, anti-core antibody seems to be the most sensitive. However, there are some patients without anti-cor
## Abstract A large number of complete and partial hepatitis C virus (HCV) sequences have been reported and classified into several genotypes, although none have been reported from South Asia. We have determined and evaluated partial sequences in the core region of HCV obtained from patients with c
Acute and chronic Hepatitis C virus infections were investigated retrospectively in chimpanzees that had been infected from a single source. Anti-E1 and anti-E2 were detected in two of three chimpanzees with a chronic infection, but were first detected 1 to 2 years after inoculation. Sequence evolut
