Novel cell culture-adapted genotype 2a hepatitis C virus infectious clone.
Although the recently developed infectious hepatitis C virus system that uses the JFH-1 clone enables the study of whole HCV viral life cycles, limited particular HCV strains have been available with the system. In this study, we isolated another genotype 2a HCV cDNA, the JFH-2 strain, from a patient with fulminant hepatitis. JFH-2 subgenomic replicons were constructed. HuH-7 cells transfected ...
متن کاملEstablishment of an infectious genotype 1b hepatitis C virus clone in human hepatocyte chimeric mice.
The establishment of clonal infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a small-animal model is important for the analysis of HCV virology. A previous study developed models of molecularly cloned genotype 1a and 2a HCV infection using human hepatocyte-transplanted chimeric mice. This study developed a new model of molecularly cloned genotype 1b HCV infection. A full-length genotype 1b HCV genome, H...
متن کاملNovel chimeric genotype 1b/2a hepatitis C virus suitable for high-throughput screening.
A major obstacle in hepatitis C virus (HCV) research has been the lack of a permissive cell culture system that produces infectious viral particles. Significant breakthroughs have been achieved lately in establishing such culture systems. Yet to date, there are no reports of the applications of any of these systems in HCV drug screening. Here, we report the generation of two monocistronic, chim...
متن کاملProduction of Infectious Hepatitis C Virus of Various Genotypes in Cell Culture Running Title; Infectious HCV Production in Cell Culture
A unique hepatitis C virus (HCV) strain JFH-1 has been shown to replicate efficiently in cell culture with production of infectious HCV. We previously developed a DNA expression system containing HCV cDNA flanked by two self-cleaving ribozymes to generate HCV particles in cell culture. In this study, we produced HCV particles of various genotypes including 1a (H77), 1b (CG1b) and 2a (J6 and JFH...
متن کاملOvercoming Hurdles in Hepatitis C Virus Research: Efficient Production of Infectious Virus in Cell Culture
Hepatitis C virus is a flavivirus that infects nearly 2% of the world population. There is no vaccine available and current therapy with interferon and ribavirin is expensive, not well tolerated and effective in only 60% of patients. HCV research has been hampered by the lack of a robust tissue culture system, but recent advances have made virus growth in culture possible. Here we review the cu...
