TLDR
In this paper , the authors describe the selection and validation of a genetically and antigenically diverse reference panel of 15 HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpps) for neutralization assays, and propose that this multitier reference panel could be adopted as a standard for the measurement of neutralizing antibody potency and breadth, facilitating meaningful comparisons of neutralization results from vaccine studies in different laboratories.

Serum neutralization activity declines but memory B cells persist after cure of chronic hepatitis C

TL;DR: In this article , archived sera and mononuclear cells were prospectively collected up to 18 years after cure of chronic hepatitis C virus infection to determine the role of HCV antigen in maintaining neutralizing antibody and B cell responses.

Inactivated genotype 1a, 2a and 3a HCV vaccine candidates induced broadly neutralising antibodies in mice

TL;DR: High-yield genotype 1–3 HCV could be developed as basis for inactivated vaccine candidates inducing broadly neutralising antibodies in mice supporting further preclinical development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repeated exposure to heterologous hepatitis C viruses associates with enhanced neutralizing antibody breadth and potency

TL;DR: In this paper , the development of bNAbs in longitudinal plasma of HCV-infected persons with persistent infection or spontaneous clearance of multiple reinfections was investigated, and the breadth and potency of the antibody response increased upon exposure to multiple genetically distinct infections and with longer duration of viremia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-component vaccine consisting of virus-like particles displaying hepatitis C virus envelope protein 2 oligomers

TL;DR: In this article , self-assembling virus-like particles (cVLPs) were used to display monomeric or oligomeric forms of hepatitis C virus sE2 (sE2mono or sE 2oligo).
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of the pseudoparticle system for standardized assessments of neutralizing antibodies against hepatitis C virus.

TL;DR: In this paper , a simplified and reproducible HCVpp neutralization protocol for studying a wide range of HCV variants was proposed, which can contribute to a better understanding of the antibody response during natural infection and help evaluate experimental HCV vaccines.

Global Distribution and Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus Genotypes

TL;DR: It is calculated that HCV genotype 1 is the most prevalent worldwide, comprising 83.4 million cases (46.2% of all HCV cases), approximately one‐third of which are in East Asia.

Expanded classification of hepatitis C virus into 7 genotypes and 67 subtypes: Updated criteria and genotype assignment web resource

TL;DR: This study represents a major update to the previous consensus HCV classification, incorporating additional sequence information derived from over 1,300 (near‐)complete genome sequences of HCV available on public databases in May 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infectious Hepatitis C Virus Pseudo-particles Containing Functional E1–E2 Envelope Protein Complexes

TL;DR: Infectious pseudo-particles generated by displaying unmodified and functional HCV glycoproteins onto retroviral and lentiviral core particles may mimic the early infection steps of parental HCV and will be suitable for the development of much needed new antiviral therapies.

Risk of Hepatocellular Cancer in HCV Patients Treated With Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents

TL;DR: In patients with SVR, the absolute risk of HCC remained high in patients with established cirrhosis, but among patients treated with DAA, SVR was associated with a considerable reduction in the risk ofHCC.
