Assembly of a functional HCV glycoprotein heterodimer.
The two HCV envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 are released from HCV polyprotein by signal peptidase cleavages. These glycoproteins are type I transmembrane proteins with a highly glycosylated N-terminal ectodomain and a C-terminal hydrophobic anchor. After their synthesis, HCV glycoproteins E1 and E2 associate as a noncovalent heterodimer. The transmembrane domains of HCV envelope glycoproteins ...
متن کاملAn Information Security Culture Model Validated with Structural Equation Modelling
Information security culture must be considered as part of the information security programme to direct employee behaviour. Such a culture can contribute to the protection of information and minimise the risk that employee behaviour poses. This paper proposes a theoretical model, i.e. an information security culture model (ISCM) with four mechanisms (i.e. management, policies, awareness and com...
متن کاملExpression and Purification of HCV Core and Core-E1E2 Proteins in Different Bacterial Strains
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a main public health problem causing chronic liver infection and subsequently liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Vaccination based on HCV capsid proteins has attracted a special interest for prevention of viral infections. The core protein is a basic and evolutionary most conserved protein, which regulates the cellular processes rel...

متن کاملNative Folding of a Recombinant gpE1/gpE2 Heterodimer Vaccine Antigen from a Precursor Protein Fused with Fc IgG.
A recombinant strain HCV1 (hepatitis C virus [HCV] genotype 1a) gpE1/gpE2 (E1E2) vaccine candidate was previously shown by our group to protect chimpanzees and generate broad cross-neutralizing antibodies in animals and humans. In addition, recent independent studies have highlighted the importance of conserved neutralizing epitopes in HCV vaccine development that map to antigenic clusters in E...
