The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped virus that is about 50-70 nm in diameter, has positive-strand RNA, and belongs to the genus Hepacivirus and the family Flaviridae. The detection and quantification of the core antigen, HCV nucleocapsid protein, has been successful in many trials and is considered a marker of viral replication since it presents a sequence of highly conserved amino acids, giving it high sensitivity and specificity. The E2 protein is an envelope glycoprotein of HCV with 11 glycosylation sites; most of these are well-conserved, making it a target antigen.
