Identification of novel HCV-specific B cell epitopes which induce broad neutralising antibodies [ 2015 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Rowena Bull (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Fabio Luciani ,  Prof Steven Foung

Brief description This research project will study humans who have been exposed to multiple Hepatitis C virus infections. We will be examining their immune response with the aim to identify subjects with antibodies that are able to neutralise a diverse range of hepatitis C virus variants. These antibodies will be used to identify novel targets for a vaccine directed against Hepatitis C virus.
