Abstract excerpt
Of the six major genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV), infectious cDNA clones of only genotype 1 have been reported. Here, we report the construction of an infectious cDNA clone representing a second major HCV genotype, genotype 2. This infectious clone (pJ6CF) encodes the consensus polyprotein of strain HC-J6(CH), genotype 2a. Its encoded polyprotein differs from those of the infectious clones of genotypes 1a...
