Expression in animal cells and characterization of the hepatitis E virus structural proteins
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major human pathogen in much of the developing world. It is a positive-strand RNA virus with a 7.5-kb polyadenylated genome consisting of three open reading frames (ORFs). In the absence of an in vitro culture system, the replication and expression strategy of HEV and the nature of its encoded polypeptides are not well understood. We have expressed the two ORFs constituting the...
