Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major etiologic agent of non-A, non-B hepatitis. HCV infection frequently causes chronic hepatitis, which progresses to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Since the discovery of HCV in 1989, a large number of genetic analyses of HCV have been reported, and the viral genome structure has been elucidated. An enveloped virus, HCV belongs to the family Flaviviridae, whose...
