BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a significant global public health problem. In clinical studies, zinc has been closely related to the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C. However, the role of zinc in both viral replication and the expression of viral proteins remains unclear. We aimed to clarify the effect of zinc on the replication of HCV in vitro. METHODS: We incubated subgenomic HCV...
