Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver diseases. Progress in the HCV field was greatly enhanced by constructing infectious cDNA clone of JFH-1. Since then, JFH-1-based intra- and intergenotypic recombinants have been developed, and this permitted the study of vaccines and antiviral inhibitors for all genotypes. Recently, highly efficient HCV culture systems have been established by...
