Abstract:Abstract.Recently, we reported the characterization of the glycans attached at the 11 N-glycosylation sites of Hepatitis C virus E2 envelope glycoprotein by tandem mass spectrometry. Infections caused by Hepatitis C virus represent the main cause of liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The N-linked sugars consist primarily of high mannose glycans, with structures ranging from the minimal core structure, Man3GlcNAc2 (Man3) up to 12 hexose residues attached to the GlcNAc-ß(1-… Show more
