    Abstract:

    Hepatitis C virus has four chief genotypes HCVⅠ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ and Ⅳ,whose homology of amino acids and nucliec acids is less than 80% each other.The variation rates of HCV proteins are core 8%,E1 35%,E2/NS1 53%,NS3 27%,NS4 35%,NS5 39%,respectively. According to the characters of conservation, hydrophilicity, antigenicity and conformation,a series of highly conserved T cell and B cell epitopes are identified from the HCV expressed products,which might be benificial to the prevention and treatment of hepatitis C.In genenal, B epitope is about 12~40 peptides and T epitope 7~9 peptides.
