Activation of the Interferon- <i>β</i> Promoter During Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
In this study we examined the impact of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA replication on the innate antiviral response of the host cell. Replication of an HCV subgenomic replicon stimulated the activation of the interferon (IFN)-beta promoter and the production of IFN in human hepatoma cells. Using a variety of functional assays, we found that HCV RNA replication induced the activation and DNA-binding activity of...
