Inhibition of dsRNA-induced signaling in hepatitis C virus-infected cells by NS3 protease-dependent and -independent mechanisms
17 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
The recent establishment of a robust hepatitis C virus (HCV) cell culture system permits analysis of virus-host interactions during HCV infection. Here, we report that HCV genotype 2a (JFH-1) infection fails to induce IFN-beta or IFN-stimulated gene expression in Huh-7 cells, and that it blocks IFN-beta and IFN-stimulated gene production after transfection of synthetic dsRNA. Overexpression of individual...
