ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a polypeptide expressed by a DNA molecule, its use in diagnosis and its methods of production. The polypeptide disclosed herein is encoded by a DNA molecule derived from the genome of an HCV, and comprises a hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen protein fused to a part of an envelope region of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) protein The polypeptide may be used in the detection of HCV.
