Patent

Cloned genomes of infectious hepatitis C viruses and uses thereof

TL;DR: The present invention discloses nucleic acid sequences which encode infectious hepatitis C viruses and the use of these sequences, and polypeptides encoded by all or part of the sequences, in the development of vaccines and diagnostics for HCV and in the developing of screening assays for the identification of antiviral agents for hepatitis C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypervariable Region 1 in Envelope Protein 2 of Hepatitis C Virus: A Linchpin in Neutralizing Antibody Evasion and Viral Entry.

TL;DR: The ability of HVR1 to protect HCV from NAbs appears to be linked with modulation of HCV entry co-receptor interactions, and improved E1/E2 models and comparative studies with other NAb evasion strategies are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current status and future development of infectious cell-culture models for the major genotypes of hepatitis C virus: Essential tools in testing of antivirals and emerging vaccine strategies.

TL;DR: Research aimed at identifying novel strategies that will permit universal culture of HCV will be needed to further the understanding of this unique virus causing 400 thousand deaths annually.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of functional differences between hepatitis C virus NS5A of genotypes 1-7 in infectious cell culture systems.

TL;DR: This study identified NS5A genetic elements essential for all major HCV genotypes in infectious cell culture systems, and demonstrated a universal importance of the amphipathic alpha-helix, domain I and II and the low-complexity sequence (LCS) I for HCV replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypervariable region 1 and N-linked glycans of hepatitis C regulate virion neutralization by modulating envelope conformations.

TL;DR: It is found that HVR1 and glycans regulate HCV neutralization by shifting the equilibrium between open and closed envelope conformations, suggesting a role of this receptor in transitions from closed to open conformations during entry.
