摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a recombinant hepatitis C virus-like particle comprising the steps of introducing into (i) a cell in which an RNA replicon comprising a nucleotide sequence comprising the 5' untranslated region, the nucleotide sequence coding for the NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B proteins, and the 3' untranslated region of a genome RNA derived from a hepatitis C virus strain autonomously replicates, (ii) a vector expressing the Core, E1, E2, and p7 proteins derived from a hepatitis C virus strain that is the same as or different from that as defined in the above (i), culturing the cell, and recovering the produced virus-like particle, and a recombinant hepatitis C virus particle produced by this method.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing a recombinant hepatitis C virus-like particle comprising introducing into (i) a cell which autonomously replicates an RNA replicon including a base sequence encoding a 5’ noncoding region, NS3 protein, NS4A protein, NS4B protein, NS5A protein and NS5B protein in the genomic RNA derived from a hepatitis C virus strain and a base sequence including a 3’ noncoding region, (ii) a vector expressing Core protein, E1 protein, E2 protein and p7 protein derived from the same or a different hepatitis C virus strain in (i), culturing the cell and collecting the produced virus-like particle and a recombinant hepatitis C virus particle produced by the method.
