An antigenic peptide for classifying hepatitis C virus, a kit containing the peptide, and a method for classifying hepatitis C virus using the peptide

摘要

The present invention relates to an NS4-related antigenic polypeptide capable of specifically reacting with an antibody against hepatitis C virus (HCV) group 1; NS4-related antigenic polypeptides capable of specifically reacting with antibodies to Group II of the hepatitis C virus (HCV); A kit for identifying HCV group 1 or II comprising said peptides in a separate part; RTI ID = 0.0 HCV. /RTI The inventive compounds can be used to specifically detect HCV group 1 or II in combination with diagnosing mixed infected patients, thus allowing patients with HCV group II-infectious disease to initially receive an effective treatment with the same. The present invention is also useful for diagnosing HCV infection.
