Identification of Aptamer-Binding Sites in Hepatitis C Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E2
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) encodes two envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2. Our previous work selected a specific aptamer ZE2, which could bind to E2 with high affinity, with a great potential for developing new molecular probes as an early diagnostic reagents or therapeutic drugs targeting HCV. In this study, the binding sites between E2 and aptamer ZE2 were further explored. E2 was truncated to 15...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibody AP33 defines a broadly neutralizing epitope on the hepatitis C virus E2 envelope glycoprotein.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant threat to the general health of the world's population, and there is a pressing need for the development of new treatments and preventative vaccines. Here, we describe the generation of retrovirus-based pseudoparticles (HCVpp) incorporating a panel of full-length E1E2 clones representative of the major genotypes 1 through 6, and their application to...
متن کاملgb virus c/hepatitis g virus envelope glycoprotein e2: computational molecular features and immunoinformatics study
conclusions the comprehensive analysis of a protein with important roles has never been easy, and in case of e2 envelope glycoprotein of hgv, there is no much data on its molecular and immunological features, clinical significance and its pathogenic potential in hepatitis or any other gbv-c related diseases. so, results of the present study may explain some structural, physiological and immunol...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of broadly neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies directed against the E2 envelope glycoprotein of hepatitis C virus.
Nearly all livers transplanted into hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive patients become infected with HCV, and 10 to 25% of reinfected livers develop cirrhosis within 5 years. Neutralizing monoclonal antibody could be an effective therapy for the prevention of infection in a transplant setting. To pursue this treatment modality, we developed human monoclonal antibodies (HuMAbs) directed against th...
