ABSTRACT:
Novel Hepatitis C E1 and E2 truncated polypeptides and complexes comprising these polypeptides, are disclosed. The polypeptides are C-terminally truncated to remove all or a portion of their membrane spanning domains. Hence, the polypeptides are capable of secretion when expressed recombinantly.
