Western blot analysis of serum samples from Hepatitis C virus infected and noninfected individuals with antisera monospecific to the Core (Fig. 2a) and E1 (Fig.2b) region of HCV. Fig. 2a. A single band was identified at 38 kDa in serum samples from infected individuals only, lanes 1 to 3, serum samples from three individuals infected with Hepatitis C virus ; lanes 4 to 6, serum samples from three noninfected healthy individuals. Fig. 2b. A single band was identified at 88 kDa in serum samples from infected individuals only, lanes 3 and 4, serum samples from two individuals infected with Hepatitis C virus ; lanes 1 and 2, serum samples from two noninfected healthy individuals. Molecular mass bands are not shown but are indicated by arrows.
