Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of chronic hepatitis worldwide. Viral attachment and entry, representing the first steps of virus-host cell interactions, are major targets of adaptive host cell defenses. The mechanisms of antibody-mediated neutralization by host neutralizing responses in HCV infection are only poorly understood. Retroviral HCV pseudotypes (HCVpp) and recombinant cell culture-derived HCV (HCVcc) have been successfully used to study viral entry and antibody-mediated neutralization. In this study, we used these model systems to investigate the mechanism of antibody-mediated neutralization by monoclonal antienvelope antibodies and polyclonal anti-HCV immunoglobulins purified from HCV-infected patients. Using a panel of monoclonal antienvelope antibodies, we identified an epitope within the E1 glycoprotein targeted by human neutralizing antibodies during postbinding events. Interestingly, we observed that host neutralizing responses in the majority of HCV-infected individuals include antibodies targeting HCV entry after binding of the virus to the target cell membrane. Using a kinetic assay based on HCVpp and HCVcc entry, we demonstrate that purified antiviral immunoglobulins derived from individual HCV-i...Continue Reading
