Title:
MAMMALIAN EXPRESSION SYSTEMS FOR HEPATITIS C VIRUS ENVELOPE GENES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1995020664
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Mammalian expression systems for the production of HCV E1-E2 fusion proteins. Such expression systems provide high yields of HCV proteins extracelluarly, and enable the development of diagnostic, vaccine and therapeutic reagents which contain glycosylated structural antigens and also allow for the isolation of the HCV etiological agent.
