We established a replication system for hepatitis C virus (HCV) using the PH5CH non-neoplastic human hepatocyte line that had been immortalized with simian virus 40 large T antigen. In cells inoculated with sera derived from two HCV-positive blood donors, positive-stranded HCV RNA was detected up to 30 days postinoculation (p.i.).
