1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

HCV Core Protein (59-68) functions as an MHC class I-restricted epitope that binds to HLA-A0201 molecules on antigen-presenting cells, forming stable peptide-MHC complexes. These complexes are recognized by T cell receptors on CD8⁺ cytotoxic T lymphocytes, triggering T cell activation, proliferation, and effector functions including cytokine release and cytotoxic activity against HCV-infected cells. The peptide's specific sequence (YLVPGVVALV) contains essential anchor residues that confer high binding affinity to HLA-A0201, making it a dominant target in HCV-specific immune responses and a valuable tool for studying T cell recognition and viral clearance mechanisms.
