## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may result in acute resolving or chronic infection. Patients that clear the infection have a more vigorous cellular immune response and an early humoral response to the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of the E2 envelope protein.

## Abstract The hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) has been most reliably identified in the genome of HCV genotype 1 isolates and thought to possibly play a role in immune evasion and development of chronic infection. There are few studies, however, of other HCV genotypes to determine if they also have
