Abstract
The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of 51 cDNAs are disclosed where each cDNA encodes the envelope 1 gene of an isolate of hepatitis C virus (HCV). The invention relates to the oligonucleotides, peptides and recombinant envelope 1 proteins derived from these sequences and their use in diagnostic methods and vaccines.
