Topik: HCV - Replicon systems; Hepatitis - Buku HCV Bahasa: (EN )     Tahun Terbit: 0     Jenis: Books - Textbook Fulltext: Bookshelf_NBK1616.pdf (2.05MB; 0 download) Abstract With the remarkable ability of hepatitis C virus (HCV) to establish persistent infections that can lead to progressive liver pathology and the poor response of prevalent HCV genotypes to the current treatment, HCV represents a significant global health problem. Studies of HCV replication in cell culture were virtually impossible until the development of subgenomic replicons that replicate autonomously in the human hepatoma cell line Huh-7. Many improvements to the replicon system have been made allowing the establishment of transient replication assays for HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, and 2a. Specifically, the identification of adaptive mutations that drastically enhance HCV genotype 1 replication and the isolation of highly permissive Huh-7 sublines led to the development of replicationcompetent full-length genomes in addition to a collection of robustly replicating subgenomes derived from genotype 1 sequences. More recently, the cell tropism of HCV subgenomic replicons has been expanded to non-hepatoma cell lines and mouse hepatocytes. The HCV replicon system has opened new avenues for detailed molecular studies of RNA replication and HCV-host interactions as well as the development of active inhibitors of HCV replication. Finally, the identification of genotype 2a-derived replicons that efficiently replicate in cell culture without adaptive mutations has facilitated the development of systems supporting the complete virus life cycle.
