The antiviral protein viperin inhibits hepatitis C virus replication via interaction with nonstructural protein 5A

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The interferon-stimulated gene, viperin, has been shown to have antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the context of the HCV replicon, although the molecular mechanisms responsible are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that viperin plays an integral part in the ability of interferon to limit the replication of cell-culture-derived HCV (JFH-1) that accurately reflects the...
