Abstract: The present invention is directed to peptides, and nucleic acids encoding them, derived from the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). The peptides are those which elicit a CTL and/or HTL response in a host. The invention is also directed to compositions and vaccines for prevention and treatment of HCV infection and diagnostic methods for detection of HCV exposure in patients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying recombinant HCV single or specific oligomeric envelope proteins selected from the group consisting of E1 and/or E1/E2 characterized in that upon lysing the transformed host cells to isolate the recombinantly expressed protein a disulphide bond cleavage or reduction step is carried out with a disulphide bond cleavage agent. The present invention also relates to a composition isolated by such a method. The present invention also relates to the diagnostic and therapeutic application of these compositions. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of HCV E1 protein and peptides for prognosing and monitoring the clinical effectiveness and/or clinical outcome of HCV treatment.
