    Abstract: A drug which protects individuals against hepatitis C virus (HCV) is made of HCV hyperimmune globulins, which guarantee a substantial hyperimmunity against HCV thanks to a substantial hyperconcentration of virus C neutralizing antibodies. This hyperconcentration is obtained from blood of a large number of anti-HCV positive blood donors. The material used for the preparation of the HCV hyperimmune globulins is made of up to 100% of anti-HCV positive blood units.
