Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Heterogeneity in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) protein NS5A influences its sensitivity to interferon-based therapy. Furthermore, NS5A is an important target for development of HCV-specific inhibitors. We aimed to develop recombinant infectious cell culture systems that express NS5A from isolates of the 7 major HCV genotypes, and determining their sensitivity to a specific NS5A inhibitor and to...
