The present invention relates to compositions derived from immunoglobulin molecules specific for the hepatitis C virus (HCV). More particularly, the invention is related to molecules which are capable of specifically binding with HCV E2 antigen. The molecules are useful in specific binding assays, affinity purification schemes and pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and treatment of HCV infection in mammalian subjects. The invention thus relates to novel human monoclonal antibodies specific for HCV E2 antigen, fragments of such monoclonal antibodies, polypeptides having structure and function substantially homologous to antigen-binding sites obtained from such monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides, and expression vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules.

La présente invention se rapporte à des compositions dérivées de molécules d'immunoglobulines spécifiques du virus de l'hépatite C (HCV). L'invention se rapporte notamment à des molécules capables de se lier spécifiquement à l'antigène E2 de HCV. Ces molécules sont utilisées dans des méthodes de liaison spécifique, des schémas de purification par affinité et dans des compositions pharmaceutiques utilisées dans la prévention et le traitement des infections à HCV chez des sujets mammifères. L'invention se rapporte en outre à de nouveaux anticorps monoclonaux humains spécifiques de l'antigène E2 de HCV, à des fragments de ces anticorps monoclonaux, à des polypeptides ayant une structure et une fonction sensiblement homologues aux sites de liaison des antigènes obtenus à partir de ces anticorps monoclonaux, à des molécules d'acide nucléique codant ces polypeptides et à des vecteurs d'expression comprenant des molécules d'acide nucléique.
