Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is etiologically associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. HCV has been reported to exist and replicate in both HCC and adjacent non-cancerous liver tissue, but limited information was available on HCV viral load and quasispecies c
## Abstract The Nβterminal end of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoprotein E2 contains a stretch of 27 amino acids that exhibit increased variability. This hypervariable region 1 (HVRβ1), as it is normally referred to, is thought to contain epitopes that come under humoral immune attack. I
Hypervariable region I (HVRI) of the putative second envelope glycoprotein (gp70) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) undergoes sequential alterations at intervals of several months during the chronic phase of hepatitis. To evaluate the implications of sequence variability in HVRl of HCV, we investigated the
