Development of robust genotype 1a hepatitis C replicons harboring adaptive mutations for facilitating the antiviral drug discovery and study of virus replication.

Abstract excerpt

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) subgenomic replicon is a valuable tool for studying virus replication and HCV drug development. Despite the fact that HCV genotype 1a (HCV1a) is the most prevalent genotype in the United States, few HCV1a reporter replicon constructs have been reported, and their replication capacities are not as efficient as those of HCV1b or 2a, especially in transient expression. In this study, we...
