Naturally occurring antibodies that recognize linear epitopes in the amino terminus of the hepatitus C virus E2 protein confer noninterfering, additive neutralization

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can persist even in the presence of a broadly neutralizing antibody response. Various mechanisms that underpin viral persistence have been proposed, and one of the most recently proposed mechanisms is the presence of interfering antibodies that negate neutra...
