Molecular characterization of the 5' non-coding region of South African GBV-C/HGV isolates: major deletion and evidence for a fourth genotype.

Journal of medical virology - 1 Sept 1999

Abstract excerpt

GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) has been characterised as a novel flavivirus, and to date three known genotypes have been cloned. Greater genetic variation of GBV-C/HGV has been demonstrated in West African isolates, but no major deletions have been shown in the 5' non-coding region (NCR). The 5'NCR regulates protein translation via an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES). We cloned, sequenced, and...
