Chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV) is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to limited treatment options. HCV transgenic mice can be used as surrogate model of chronic HCV infection and may therefore be a small animal model for the evaluation of therapeutic vaccination strategies. We immunized transgenic mice expressing HCV structural proteins with an HCV core and a mouse IL-2 expression plasmid to...
