Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that the JFH1 genome replicates efficiently and supports secretion of viral particles after transfection into a human hepatoma cell line (Huh7) and provides a powerful tool for studying the viral life cycle and developing antiviral strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association of IL28B with response to pegylated interferon-alpha and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C.
Yasuhito Tanaka,Nao Nishida,Masaya Sugiyama,Masayuki Kurosaki,Kentaro Matsuura,Naoya Sakamoto,Mina Nakagawa,Masaaki Korenaga,Keisuke Hino,Shuhei Hige,Yoshito Ito,Eiji Mita,Eiji Tanaka,Satoshi Mochida,Yoshikazu Murawaki,Masao Honda,Akito Sakai,Yoichi Hiasa,Shuhei Nishiguchi,Asako Koike,Isao Sakaida,Masatoshi Imamura,Kiyoaki Ito,Koji Yano,Naohiko Masaki,Fuminaka Sugauchi,Namiki Izumi,Katsushi Tokunaga,Masashi Mizokami +28 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study to null virological response (NVR) in the treatment of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 within a Japanese population is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus proposals for a unified system of nomenclature of hepatitis C virus genotypes.

TL;DR: These proposals provide the framework by which the HCV databases store and provide access to data on HCV, which will internationally coordinate the assignment of new genotypes and subtypes in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance of serum hepatitis C virus RNA levels in chronic hepatitis C
Joseph Lau,Gary L. Davis,J Kniffen,Ke-Ping Qian,Mickey S. Urdea,C. S. Chan,Paul Neuwald,Judith C. Wilber,Masashi Mizokami +8 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that mode of acquisition is an important determinant of HCV viraemia and that patients with low HCVviraemia levels are more likely to respond to interferon in a sustained fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient replication of the genotype 2a hepatitis C virus subgenomic replicon
Takanobu Kato,Tomoko Date,Michiko Miyamoto,Akihiro Furusaka,Katsutoshi Tokushige,Masashi Mizokami,Takaji Wakita +6 more
TL;DR: The genotype 2a subgenomic replicon was established in Huh7 cells and replicated efficiently with or without G418 selection in a transient replication assay, providing a powerful new tool for researching HCV.
