چکیده
background previous studies using cell culture systems for the replication of hepatitis c virus have opened new research dimensions, and paved the ways for further and detailed studies of the virus in vitro. objectives the purpose of the present study was to cultivate hepatitis c virus in a cell culture system and evaluate viral amplification. materials and methods in order to propagate hepatitis c virus, cloned whole genome of virus, jfh-1, was used. jfh-1 cdna was introduced into strain jm109 of escherichia coli and plasmid, containing the viral genome was purified from transformed bacteria. after xbai digestion, rna synthesis was induced using t7 rna polymerase enzyme. next, eukaryotic cell line huh 7.5 was transfected by the purified rna. finally, huh-7.5 cell line was infected with replicated virus and viral load was determined using real-time pcr (polymerase chain reaction). results the amount of viral load, which was measured using real-time pcr was 17592 iu/ml. conclusions in the present study, using cell culture, a high titer (in acceptable range) of infectious hepatitis c virus was produced. this method could be used in future studies.

متن کاملComparison of PEG Interferon Loaded and non-Loaded Iron Oxide Nanoparticles on Hepatitis C Virus Replication in Cell Culture System
Background and Aims: Iron oxide nanoparticles are among the most effective tools which can replace current medical techniques for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Hepatitis C infection is one of the main health problems in the world, affecting around 3% of the world's population. This infection can develop into liver cirrhosis and liver cancer over the time in 80% of patients. In t...
متن کاملMultilaboratory comparison of hepatitis C virus viral load assays.
We report a multilaboratory evaluation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load assays to determine their linear range, reproducibility, subtype detection, and agreement. A panel of HCV RNA samples ranging in nominal concentration from 1.0 to 7.0 log10 IU/ml was constructed by diluting a clinical specimen (genotype 1b). Replicates of the panel were tested in multiple laboratories using the Abbott ...
متن کاملCell culture systems for hepatitis C virus.
Due to the obligatory intracellular lifestyle of viruses, cell culture systems for efficient viral propagation are crucial to obtain a detailed understanding of the virus-host cell interaction. For hepatitis C virus (HCV) the development of permissive and authentic culture models continues to be a challenging task. The first efforts to culture HCV had limited success and range back to before th...
متن کاملViral and cellular determinants of hepatitis C virus RNA replication in cell culture.
Studies on the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been facilitated by the development of selectable subgenomic replicons replicating in the human hepatoma cell line Huh-7 at a surprisingly high level. Analysis of the replicon population in selected cells revealed the occurrence of cell culture-adaptive mutations that enhance RNA replication substantially. To gain a better understanding...
متن کاملViral evolution and interferon resistance of hepatitis C virus RNA replication in a cell culture model.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicates through an error-prone process that may support the evolution of genetic variants resistant to the host cell antiviral response and interferon (IFN)-based therapy. We evaluated HCV-IFN interactions within a long-term culture system of Huh7 cell lines harboring different variants of an HCV type 1b subgenomic RNA replicon that differed at only two sites within t...
