| مستخلص: | Although Egypt has very high rates of HCV, not much is known about genotype 4a which is the most predominant genotype in Egypt. In the present study, core (C_ED43) gene of the Egyptian strain ED43 of HCV genotype 4a was first analyzed using PC/GENE program. Computer analysis of Core region of the isolate ED43 revealed that the Egyptian genotype 4a is different from those isolated from Europe and Central Africa and that it is closely related to genotype 1b. The DNA region coding for the Core was amplified from HCV_ED43/PUC19 plasmid. The PCR product was then cloned and expressed in E. coli M15 using pQE-30 vector. The expression and antigenicity of the core (Core_4a) protein in E. coli was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting, which will make it useful for developing assay systems for detecting anti-HCV antibodies and HCV antigen, respectively and which might help in the design of a vaccine against the Egyptian genotype 4a. |
