ABSTRACT:
A diagnostic reagent for hepatitis C, which detects an antibody induced by infection of hepatitis C virus, comprising the second envelope protein or first non-structural protein which is encoded by the gene of hepatitis C virus and has a sugar chain. This invention also provides a method for detecting an anti-hepatitis C virus antibody. The use of the diagnostic reagent for hepatitis C according to the present invention makes highly sensitive diagnosis of hepatitis C possible.
