Abstract excerpt
Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a well-characterized anti-HCV reagent. Recently it was reported that the genotype 2a JFH-1 strain was more resistant than genotype 1 HCV strains to CsA in a cell culture system. However, the JFH-1 responsible region for the resistance to CsA remains unclear. It was also demonstrated that in genotype 1b HCVs, NS5B interacts with cyclophilin (CyP). To clarify whether or not NS5B of JFH-1 is...
