Main author: Nelson Acosta Rivero.
Summary:

The work consists on the assembling study of two variants of the core protein of Hepatitis C virus, until forming particles similar to the virus capsid. It allows having an autoassembling structure with adyuvant potentiality, applicable to new vaccinal formulations.

The work is methodologically right. Its importance is endorsed by:

  • a) Its publication in important magazines, such as Vaccine,
  • b) A Cuban patent,
