Expression of hepatitis C virus hypervariable region 1 and its clinical significance

Figure 2 A: The nucleotide sequences of the four HVR1 fragments in recombinant pQE40-HVR1 palsmids. Dashes represent nucleotides identical to those of HVR1-SH1b. B: Deduced amino acid sequence of the HVR1 frag-ments in pQE40-HVR1. Sequences are shown with a single-letter amino acid code where residue is different from the con-sensus sequence of genotype 1b defined by Hattori et al[10], and with a dash where residue is identical.
