Productive Homologous and Non-homologous Recombination of Hepatitis C Virus in Cell Culture
28 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Genetic recombination is an important mechanism for increasing diversity of RNA viruses, and constitutes a viral escape mechanism to host immune responses and to treatment with antiviral compounds. Although rare, epidemiologically important hepatitis C virus (HCV) recombinants have been reported. In addition, recombination is an important regulatory mechanism of cytopathogenicity for the related pestiviruses....
