Abstract excerpt
The six major epidemiologically important hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes differ in global distribution and antiviral responses. Full-length infectious cell-culture adapted clones, the gold standard for HCV studies in vitro, are missing for genotypes 4 and 5. To address this challenge for genotype 5, we constructed a consensus full-length clone of strain SA13 (SA13fl), which was found non-viable in Huh7.5...
