Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) research is hampered by the use of arbitrary representative isolates in cell culture and immunology. The most replicative isolate in vitro is a subtype 2a virus (JFH-1); however, genotype 1 is more prevalent worldwide and represents about 70% of infections in the United States, and genotypes differ from one another by 31% to 33% at the nucleotide level. For phylogenetic and immunologic...
