Hepatitis C Virus Subgenomic Replicons in the Human Embryonic Kidney 293 Cell Line
11 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects liver cells and its replication in other cells is incompletely defined. Human hepatoma Huh-7 cells harboring subgenomic HCV replicons were used in somatic cell fusion experiments with human embryonic kidney 293 cells as a means of examining the permissiveness of 293 cells for HCV subgenomic RNA replication. 293 cells were generally not permissive for replication of Huh-7...
