Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: We previously established hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon-harboring cell lines possessing two interferon (IFN)-resistant phenotypes: a partially resistant phenotype (alphaR series) and a severely resistant phenotype (betaR series). We recently found that the severe IFN resistance of the betaR-series cells is caused by the functional disruption of type I IFN receptors. Here, we aimed to clarify...
