HCV FULL-LENGTH INFECTIOUS CELL CULTURE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences that encode hepatitis C viruses (HCV) that are useful in the fundamental research of HCV as well as in the search of a vaccine against HCV. In particular the present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences that comprises HCVs which are capable of expressing said virus when transfected into cells and are capable of infectivity in vivo.
