摘要:
This invention provides methods for identifying HCV genomes and more specifically, methods for identifying nucleotide sequence of viral structural proteins at the time of HCV viral transmission. The method of the invention utilizes single genome amplification and sequencing of circulating virus as well as phylogenetic analysis of the resulting nucleotide sequence for identifying transmitted HCV genomes. Also provided are HCV genomes and corresponding nucleotide sequence for transmitted and circulating HCV virus. The invention further provides methods of administering a vaccine comprising one or more identified transmitted HCV sequences.
