Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Sequences at the 3'UTR of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) negative-strand (-)RNA play an important role in the initiation of positive-strand (+)RNA synthesis. However, the underlying mechanism in cellular context is still unclear. In this report, we designed several cDNA-based HCV-like minigenomes containing different mutations at the 5'UTR of (+)RNA. These (+)RNAs transcribed from the minigenomes in vitro...
