Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, a hepatitis C virus (HCV) cell-culture system was developed that employed strain JFH1 (genotype 2a), and JFH1-based intra- and intergenotypic recombinants now permit functional studies of the structural genes (Core, E1, and E2), p7, and NS2 of genotypes 1-4. The goal was to adapt the system to employ genotype 5. METHODS: Huh7.5 cells infected with SA13/JFH1, containing Core-NS2 of strain...
