A compsn. is claimed comprising a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid having a non-HCV-1 nucleotide sequence of 8 or more nucleotides corresponding to a nucleotide sequence within the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome. The nucleotide sequence corresp. to a non-HCV-1 nucleotide sequence within the HCV genome may be selected from regions consisting of the NS5 region, envelope 1 region, 5' UT region and the core region.
