<p>The present invention relates to genomic nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences corresponding to the non-coding and coding region of a new type of HCV. The invention relates to new HCV types and subtypes sequences which are different from the known HCV types and subtypes sequences. Particularly, the present invention relates to said new HCV type sequences; a process for preparing them, and their use for diagnosis, prophylaxis and therapy. More particularly, the present invention provides new type-specific sequences of the 5' NCR, Core, the E1 and the NS5 regions of the new HCV type. These new HCV sequences are useful to diagnose the presence of HCV type genotypes or serotypes in a biological sample. Moreover, the availability of these new type-specific sequences can increase the overall sensitivity of HCV detection and should also prove to be useful for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes.</p> |
