Characterization of the Effects of Hepatitis C Virus Nonstructural 5A Protein Expression in Human Cell Lines and on Interferon–Sensitive Virus Replication
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein has been implicated in the inherent resistance of HCV to interferon (IFN) antiviral therapy in clinical studies. Biochemical studies have demonstrated that NS5A interacts in vitro with and inhibits the IFN-induced, RNA-dependent protein kinase, PKR, and that NS5A interacts with at least one other cellular kinase. The present study describes the...
