Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To utilize chimeric hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicons to select adaptive mutation(s) that allow replication of a genotype 1a replicon. METHODS: We used a genetic approach to gradually apply selective pressure by generating chimeric replicons through sequential replacement of nonstructural genes of a 1b replicon with genotype 1a sequences. RESULTS: A chimeric replicon containing a genotype 1a NS5A...
