Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major pathogen of chronic hepatitis and liver disease, but currently there are no prophylactic HCV vaccines available. The HCV core protein-encoding sequence is among the most conserved genes in the HCV genome, making it a prime candidate for a component of a vaccine. The core protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through a C-terminal hydrophobic region...
Wild-type or immunoevasive antigens can drive weak CD8 + T-cell responses against both dominant and subdominant epitopes during gene-based vaccination. For many antigens, fusion to ubiquitin (Ub) to target them to the proteasome circumvents this problem. Although this procedure works in most cases, for one subset of antigens, Ub fusion does not improve immune responses. To determine why these...
