Hepatitis C Virus Mosaic Antigen-A Recombinant
HCV Mosaic-A protein contains a short core peptide residue 1-50a. a. , 1269-1316a. a. of NS3, three epitopes from NS4 and two epitopes from NS5 and the genotype of all sequences are 1b. A specific peptide was identified from each region; the four peptides from each region were linked together and expressed in E . coli. The recombinant protein migrates at 33kDa.
