Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection progresses to chronicity in the majority of infected individuals. Its high intra-host genetic variability enables HCV to evade the continuous selection pressure exerted by the host, contributing to persistent infection. Utilizing a cell culture-adapted HCV population (p100pop) which exhibits increased replicative capacity in various liver cell lines, this study investigated virus...
