Abstract excerpt
We describe an infectious molecular clone of a Japanese genotype 1b strain of hepatitis C virus (HCV-N). The molecularly cloned sequence of HCV-N was compared with alignments of other HCV sequences, leading to the identification of 15 unique, nonconservative amino acid substitutions within the HCV-N open reading frame (ORF). These were repaired to the consensus genotype 1b residue, and the infectivity of RNA...
