| 20100035345 | High Production System for Infectious Hepatitis C Virus Particle - The present invention relates to a method for producing infectious hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles, comprising a step of introducing an expression vector into a cell that allows HCV proliferation, such expression vector comprising: DNA sequences encoding the 5′ untranslated region, structural proteins, and, if necessary, non-structural proteins of HCV and DNA sequences encoding non-structural proteins and the 3′ untranslated region derived from the HCV JFH1 strain, which are located downstream of a polymerase I promoter; and a DNA fragment containing an RNA polymerase I terminator, which is located further downstream thereof. | 02-11-2010 |
