Abstract excerpt
This report describes the development of a cell-based assay for high-throughput screening and detection of small-molecule inhibitors for hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS2/3 protease. The HCV NS2/3 protease is essential for the normal infectious cycle of HCV. Generation of a cell-based assay for this cis-acting viral protease involved reporter constructs in which the NS2/3 protease sequence was inserted between the...
