ABSTRACT:
A hepatitis C virus antigen polypeptide having a molecular weight of approximately 22 kilodaltons expressed from a hepatitis C virus structural gene region; a production method for a hepatitis C virus antigen polypeptide having a molecular weight of 22 kilodaltons and/or a peptide related thereto, wherein an expression vector having inserted thereinto a cDNA fragment of a hepatitis C virus structural gene region is inserted into a cultured cell line and the transfected cell line thus obtained is cultured; and a detection method for a hepatitis C virus antibody, wherein a hepatitis C virus antigen polypeptide is used as an antigen, and an antibody specific thereto is detected.
