Efficient infectious cell culture systems of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) prototype strains HCV-1 and H77.
UNLABELLED The first discovered and sequenced hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome and the first in vivo infectious HCV clones originated from the HCV prototype strains HCV-1 and H77, respectively, both widely used in research of this important human pathogen. In the present study, we developed efficient infectious cell culture systems for these genotype 1a strains by using the HCV-1/SF9_A and H77C i...
متن کاملEstablishment of NS3 tumor cell line expressing Hepatitis C virus Non-structural Protein 3 as valuable tool for HCV challenging in mice
Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major medical problems. Human and chimpanzees are the only specific hosts which are naturally susceptible to HCV infection. Mice and other common laboratory animals are resistant to the virus, hence HCV prophylactic and therapeutic researches are very difficult and challenging. HCV non-structural protein 3 (NS3) is one of the most attractive t...
متن کاملExpression and Purification of HCV Core and Core-E1E2 Proteins in Different Bacterial Strains
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a main public health problem causing chronic liver infection and subsequently liver cirrhosis and lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Vaccination based on HCV capsid proteins has attracted a special interest for prevention of viral infections. The core protein is a basic and evolutionary most conserved protein, which regulates the cellular processes rel...
متن کاملA Case of Hairy Cell Leukemia Associated with Hepatitis B Surface (HBs) Antigenemia and Concurrent Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Seropositivity
Literature review shows that hepatitis C infection may increase the risk of non-hodgkin lymphoma. Reactivation of hepatitis B infection has been reported in patients with hairy cell leukemia after chemotherapy and/or splenectomy. We present hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigenemia and concurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) seropositivity in a case of hairy cell leukemia. Key Words: Hairy cell leukemi...
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...
