Abstract
|
|
|
|
The envelope glycoprotein E2 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) binds to various cell surface receptors for viral infection. We performed biopanning against this protein and selected peptides from phage display peptide libraries. Two short peptides, pep7-1 and pep12-1, were selected and their ability to inhibit the infection process was investigated. When pep7-1 was present, the infectivity of HCV particles in cell culture was notably decreased. This decrease was demonstrated by Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence assay, and reverse transcription PCR assay. However, pep12-1 showed little inhibitory effect on HCV infection.
