  • The most promising Ags were submitted to a more in-depth biophysical investigation of their structure and conformation stability, and for their capacity to interact with neutralising antibodies (Abs) and peptides. (europa.eu)
  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) test is a blood test that looks for the genetic material ( RNA ) of the virus that causes hepatitis or for the proteins ( antibodies ) the body makes against HCV. (alberta.ca)
  • This means that no antibodies against HCV and no HCV genetic material was found. (alberta.ca)
  • No hepatitis C genetic material (RNA) is found. (alberta.ca)
  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is from the virus family Flaviviridae with an RNA envelope serving as it's genetic material. (bartleby.com)
