The HLA-B27 NS5B2841-2849 epitope region is highly conserved within but not between different HCV genotypes. (A) Genotype-specific consensus sequences corresponding to the HLA-B27 NS5B2841-2849 epitope are displayed. The numbers present sequences identical to consensus/total sequences in the Los Alamos HCV Sequence Database. (B) Genotype 1a, 1b, and 3a sequences available at the Los Alamos HCV Sequence Database have been aligned to the respective genotypespecific consensus sequence. Amino acids differing between genotype 1a/1b and genotype 3a are underlined.
