Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV) remains the leading cause of liver transplant in the US and the UK, and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 71 million people are infected worldwide. A vaccine would drastically impact the healthcare-associated burdens that HCV causes globally. The objective of this master’s thesis project is to produce human antibody (IgG) against HCV. This project will focus on the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) HEPC3, AR3C, HEPC74, and HCV1. These four antibodies have been isolated from patients who have successfully cleared the infection, and their sequences and structures are available in the public domain. These four antibodies have also shown to bind to E2, a glycoprotein on the surface HCV that is crucial for vir...
