Identifying immunologically-vulnerable regions of the HCV E2 glycoprotein and broadly neutralizing antibodies that target them

A good vaccine should direct the immune response to virus regions that are most difficult to escape. Here, Quadeer et al. develop a predictive in-silico evolutionary model for HCV E2 which identifies one such antigenic region and identifies multiple broadly neutralizing human antibodies that appear...
