Abstract excerpt
A full-length cDNA clone of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 prototype (subtype 1a) sequence was constructed. Synthetic RNA produced from the initial cDNA clone was not infectious following intrahepatic inoculation of a chimpanzee. A consensus clone was prepared by comparison with multiple full-length HCV sequences of genotypes 1, 2 and 3. A total of 11 non-consensus amino acid residues were altered by...
