Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein, expressed with a Semliki forest virus (SFV) replicon, self-assembles into HCV-like particles (HCV-LPs) at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, providing an opportunity to study HCV particle morphogenesis by electron microscopy. Various mutated HCV core proteins with engineered internal deletions were expressed with this system, to identify core domains required or...
