Replicons of a Rodent Hepatitis C Model Virus Permit Selection of Highly Permissive Cells
10 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
A vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) is crucial for global control of this important pathogen, which induces fatal human liver diseases. Vaccine development has been hampered by the lack of immunocompetent animal models. Discovery of rodent hepacivirus (RHV) enabled establishment of novel surrogate animal models. These allow robust infection and reverse genetic and immunization studies of laboratory animals,...
