Summary1) The nucleotide sequences of hypervarible region 1 of HCVundergoes alteration during the several months after the HCV infection. We found that the original HCV contains a Leu at position 405 in HVR1 of HCV genome (wild type) and that this virus was cleared with the simultaneously appeared anti-gp-70 (anti-HVR-1 peptide). However, with the re-elevation of serum ALT level, HCV was reappeared and this virus had the mutation of the position 405. These results suggest that this region contain the immunological epitope for being recognized by the neutralizing antibody for HCV infection.2) Multiplicity of the immunolgical epitopes of HCV core protein.Using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we found that several immunoreactive epitopes exist within the capsid protein of HCV.Among of them, dominant epitopes were located within SCP-4 (amino acid positions 48 to 67) in acute hepatitis (AH) patients and within both SCP-2 (amino acid positions 19 to 31) and SCP-3 (amino acid positions 30 to 49) in chronic hepatitis (CH) patients. The prevalence of anti-SCP-2, -3, and -4 was 45%, 36% and 73% in AH and 76%, 86% and 57% in CH,respectively. By using these assays, we estimated the utilization of these antibodies for the diagnosis of either AH or CH.These results showed that all seven patients having anti-SCP-3 in the absence of anti-SCP-4 were CH and five of six having anti-SCP-4 in the absence of anti-SCP-3 were AH.Thus, these results indicate that the measurement of these anti-SCPs, and in particular anti-SCP-3 and -4, may provide some possibility for distinguishing acute and chronic infections of HCV.

摘要1) HCV高变区1的核苷酸序列在HCV感染后的几个月内发生改变。我们发现原始HCV在HCV基因组（野生型）HVR1的405位上含有Leu，并且该病毒被同时出现的抗gp-70（抗HVR-1肽）清除。然而，随着血清ALT水平的重新升高，HCV再次出现，并且该病毒在405位点发生突变。这些结果表明该区域含有被HCV感染的中和抗体识别的免疫表位。 2）多重性HCV核心蛋白的免疫表位。使用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA），我们发现在HCV衣壳蛋白中存在几个免疫反应表位其中，显性表位位于急性肝炎 (AH) 患者的 SCP-4（氨基酸位置 48 至 67）内以及 SCP-2（氨基酸位置 19 至 31）和 SCP-3（氨基酸位置）内。位置 30 至 49) 慢性肝炎 (CH) 患者。 AH 中抗 SCP-2、-3 和 -4 的患病率分别为 45%、36% 和 73%，CH 中抗 SCP-2、-3 和 -4 的患病率分别为 76%、86% 和 57%。通过使用这些测定，我们估计了这些抗体在 AH 或 CH 诊断中的用途。这些结果表明，在没有抗 SCP-4 的情况下，所有 7 名具有抗 SCP-3 的患者均为 CH，并且 6 名患者中有 5 名患有慢性肝炎。在没有抗 SCP-3 的情况下抗 SCP-4 是 AH。因此，这些结果表明这些抗 SCP，特别是抗 SCP-3 和 -4 的测量，可能为区分急性和慢性丙型肝炎病毒感染。
