Patent ID: 7989425

Claim:
A plasmid mixture comprising: a first plasmid containing a DNA fragment encoding a structural protein composed of core, E1 and E2 proteins of hepatitis C virus, in which 35-40 amino acids are eliminated from the N-terminal region of the original core protein; a second plasmid containing a DNA fragment encoding a non-structural protein of hepatitis of hepatitis C virus composed of NS3 and NS4 of hepatitis C virus; and a third plasmid containing a DNA fragment encoding NS5 of hepatitis C virus, wherein the size of the DNA fragments contained in the first, second and third plasmids ranges from 2 to 6 kb, and wherein the first plasmid contains SEQ ID No 50, the second plasmid contains SEQ ID No 51, and the third plasmid contains SEQ ID No 52.
