Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of the infection of monouclear cells by hepatitis C virus(HCV) in the chronicity of HCV infection. METHODS: Direct sequencing of the amplified hypervariable region (HVR) gene of HCV was used to distinguish main HCV quasispecies infecting non-hepatocytes from those infecting hepatocytes and circulating virions. The main HCV quasispecies in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC),...
