ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a DNA molecule, a polypeptide expressed by the molecule, their use in diagnosis and their methods of production. More particularly, the invention relates to a diagnostic DNA molecule, a diagnostic protein, diagnostic antibodies and protective antigen and antibodies for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The DNA molecule disclosed herein is characterized by the DNA molecule derived from the genome of an HCV, and codes for a polypeptide having the antigenicity of an HCV core antigen protein. The polypeptide may be used in the detection of HCV.
