Popis: The aim of this paper is to present current data on active prophylaxis against hepatitis C virus (HCV). Vaccines against HAV and HBV (also HDV, because this virus can only exist when HBV infection is present) have been made and are already widely used. Unfortunately, no vaccine against HCV has been developed yet. HCV structure, replication, experiments with recombinant vaccines on chimpanzees as well as some subjects concerning gene vaccines and implications for prophylaxis of HCV infection are described.
