The specificity of anti-HCV antibody responses in patients suffering from chronic HCV infection. A. The frequency of antibodies against individual recombinant HCV proteins in 68 serum specimens obtained from patients suffering from chronic HCV infection. Both the number and percentage of positive sera are shown. B. The relative antibody levels against individual HCV proteins were determined as the last serum dilution showing a positive signal in Western blot analysis. The means and standard deviations of the means for antibody levels against individual HCV proteins are shown based on 68 HCV RNA and antibody positive patient sera. Only individuals showing a positive antibody response against a given HCV protein are included into the means.
