Sequence analysis of the hepatitis C virus genome recovered from serum, liver, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of infected chimpanzees
1 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
Of 13 different strains of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the inoculum used, only 1 persisted in human lymphocyte cell lines infected in vitro (N. Nakajima, M. Hijikata, H. Yoshikura, and Y. K. Shimizu, J. Virol. 70:3325-3329, 1996). To determine whether that particular strain (designated H1-2) has a tropism for lymphocytes in vivo, we sequenced hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of the genome of HCV recovered from the...
