IMPROVED HCV DIAGNOSTIC AGENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to the epitopes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein and non-structural 3 protein (NS3), and the epitopes of envelope protein, epitopes of non-structural 4 protein, and the epitopes of HCV non-structural 5 protein and a recombinant protein comprising the same; processes for producing the recombinant proteins; an agent for diagnosing antibodies against hepatitis C virus in a putative serum sample, which comprises said recombinant proteins; and a process for diagnosing hepatitis C by using the agent.
