Figure 4From: Hepatitis C virus core, NS3, NS4B and NS5A are the major immunogenic proteins in humoral immunity in chronic HCV infectionAnti-HCV antibody responses in patients infected with different HCV genotypes. The mean antibody titers and standard deviations against individual recombinant HCV proteins when samples were grouped according to the HCV genotypes 1, 2, 3 or 4. The analysis contained 21 sera of genotype 1, 20 sera of genotype 2, 23 sera of genotype 3 and 4 sera of genotype 4. Only those serum specimens showing a positive response to a given HCV protein are included in the means.Back to article page
