The Hepatitis C Virus NS2 Protein Is an Inhibitor of CIDE-B-induced Apoptosis
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection frequently leads to liver cancer. To determine the viral factor(s) potentially involved in viral persistence, we focused our work on NS2, a viral protein of unknown function. To assign a role for NS2, we searched for cellular proteins that interact with NS2. Performing a two-hybrid screen on a human liver cDNA library, we found that NS2 interacted with the liver-specific...
