Mouse monoclonal [20-8] to HCV NS3HCV is a positive, single-stranded RNA virus in the Flaviviridae family. The genome is approximately 10,000 nucleotides and encodes a single polyprotein of about 3,000 amino acids. The polyprotein is processed by host cell and viral proteases into three major structural proteins and several non-structural proteins necessary for viral replication. Several different genotypes of HCV with slightly different genomic sequences have since been identified that correlate with differences in response to treatment with interferon alpha.
Immunogen
A highly antigenic polypeptide consisting of essential sequences of at least 60 residues in length, which were selected from genes encoding the NS-3 region of Chinese HCV strains.
