Hypervariable region 1 (HVR1), located in the N-terminal region of a putative second envelope glycoprotein (gp70) of hepatitis C virus (HCV), contains immunological B-cell epitopes which might be neutralizing epitopes.
|

7525524
|
To clarify whether B-cell epitopes within HVR1 are common among virus isolates or specific for the homologous virus isolate, we examined the reactivities of sera from 53 patients with chronic hepatitis or hepatocellular carcinoma/liver cirrhosis against two different HVR1 peptides (HVR1 I-1 and HVR1 Y-1) derived from patient I with sporadic acute hepatitis and an asymptomatic carrier Y, respectively, using our original assay system for the detection of anti-HVR1 antibody.

|
Most sera showed no reactivity with either HVR1 I-1 or HVR1 Y-1 peptide.
|

|
Only seven and fourteen serum samples reacted significantly, although weakly, with HVR1 I-1 and HVR1 Y-1 peptides, respectively, compared with the serum from patient I or asymptomatic carrier Y.
|
5 |
7525524
|
Six cases reacted with both HVR1 I-1 and HVR1 Y-1 peptides, but further analysis revealed that only three cases reacted weakly with the peptide for either epitope I or II, identified within HVR1 I-1.

The HCV hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of the main E2 envelope protein is critically important in HCV neutralization but its extreme variability makes immune therapy and vaccine development particularly difficult.

Furthermore, in patients with chronic HCV infection, purified preparations of R9-CMV down-modulated the lymphocyte surface density of CD3 and CD8, and induced a significant release of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-12 p70 and IL-15 by lymphomonocyte cultures.

Due to B-cell HVR1 mimotopes mimicking the antigenicity of natural HVR1 epitopes and some T-cell epitopes from the consensus sequence of HCV genes conserving among the different HCV genotypes, we synthesized an minigene of HCV-derived multi-epitope peptide antigen (CMEP), which contains 9 B-cell HVR1 mimotopes in E2, 2 conserved CTL epitopes in C, 1 conserved CTL epitope in NS3 and 1 conserved Th epitope in NS3.
