摘要: Although the recently developed infectious hepatitis C virus system that uses JFH-1 clone enables study of whole HCV viral life cycles, limited particular strains have been available with system. In this study, we isolated another genotype 2a cDNA, JFH-2 strain, from a patient fulminant hepatitis. subgenomic replicons were constructed. HuH-7 cells transfected in vitro transcribed replicon RNAs cultured G418, and selected colonies expanded. From sequencing analysis genome, several mutations found. Some enhanced replication; 2217AS mutation NS5A interferon sensitivity-determining region exhibited strongest adaptive effect. Interestingly, full-length chimeric or wild-type genome could replicate Huh-7.5.1 produce after extensive passages genome-replicating cells. Virus infection efficiency was sufficient for autonomous propagation Additional identified genome. RNA synthesized cDNA these This approach may be applicable establishment new clones.
