Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicons are the primary tools for identifying and evaluating anti-HCV compounds during drug discovery research. Genotype 1a and 1b are the most common genotypes in North America and Europe. These genotypes display significant genetic divergence (∼20% at the nucleotide level and ∼14% at the amino acid level), which can translate into marked differences in drug susceptibility. Thus, it is...
