| Research Abstract |
We have established HCV culture system using JFH-1 strain isolated from a fulminate hepatitis patient. This system enabled us to analyze HCV life cycles in detail. In this research project, we have produced recombinant chimeric HCV using structural gene from other HCV strains and nonstructural gene from JFH-1 strain. We analyzed replication, virus production and other virological differences among chimeric viruses. We found that some chimeric viruses did not replicate and produce infectious viruses as JFH-1. However, other chimeric viruses replicated quite well and produced infectious virus into culture medium although at the lower level compared to JFH-1. Interestingly, virus titer of chimeirc viruses was recovered after several passages. We are now investigating nucleotide mutations for this adaptation. We have found one possible important mutation in envelop region which may affect antigenecity and virus production.
