Glycoengineering of the hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein improves biochemical properties and enhances immunogenicity

Abstract An effective vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) must elicit the production of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) reproducibly against the E1E2 glycoprotein complex. Little is known about how glycan content affects this process. Ideally, glycans would maximize epitope exposure with...
