Generation of a HiBiT-expressing recombinant rat hepacivirus supporting both <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> infection
2025-11-26
Abstract excerpt
The lack of immuno-competent animal models of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been an obstacle to vaccine development and research on immune responses. Hepacivirus ratti (Norway rat hepacivirus-1: NRHV1) is a virus closely related to HCV that specifically infects the liver and induces hepatocellular carcinoma in rats, making it a promising surrogate model for HCV. NRHV1 expressing a reporter gene serves as...
