Hepatitis C virus envelope glycoprotein E2 residues contribute to virus entry
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, March 13th, 2006
"The N terminus of HCV envelope glycoprotein E2 contains a hypervariable region (HVR1) which has been proposed to play a role in viral entry. Despite strong amino acid variability, HVR1 is globally basic, with basic residues located at specific sequence positions," wrote N. Callens and colleagues, Institut Pasteur.
"Here we show by analyzing a large number of HVR1 sequences that the frequency of basic residues at each position is genotype dependent. We also used retroviral pseudotyped particles (HCVpp) harboring genotype la...
