Abstract

Hepatitis C viruses (HCVs) constitute a highly variable genus within the Flaviviridae, with closest homology to the hepatitis G and GB viruses, and Pestiviruses. The positive-stranded RNA genome encodes a polyprotein which is co- and posttranslationally cleaved into at least nine proteins. Core, E1, and E2 (the structural proteins) and NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B (the nonstructural [NS] proteins). A theoretical protein of 7 kDa (tp7) may be processed from the carboxy terminal E2 region (1).
