Functional characterization of intracellular and secreted forms of a truncated hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein.
The E2 protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is believed to be a virion surface glycoprotein that is a candidate for inclusion in an antiviral vaccine. A truncated soluble version of E2 has recently been shown to interact with CD81, suggesting that this protein may be a component of the receptor for HC...
