Development of a Method for Screening and Genotyping of HCV 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, and 6 Genotypes [PDF]
The World Health Organization and the World Health Assembly recommended eradicating hepatitis as a public threat by 2030. The accurate genotyping of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is crucial to achieving this goal because it is vital for the selection of anti-HCV therapy required for complete cure of HCV infection.

Cell culture replication of a genotype 1b hepatitis C virus isolate cloned from a patient who underwent liver transplantation. [PDF]
The introduction of the genotype 2a isolate JFH1 was a major breakthrough in the field of hepatitis C virus (HCV), allowing researchers to study the complete life cycle of the virus in cell culture.

Epidemiology and Genotype Distribution of Hepatitis C Virus in Russia
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes both acute and chronic infection of the liver that can lead to liver cirrhosis, cancer, and liver failure. HCV is characterized by high genetic diversity and substantial variations in the prevalence of specific HCV ...

Complete replication of hepatitis C virus in cell culture. [PDF]
Many aspects of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) life cycle have not been reproduced in cell culture, which has slowed research progress on this important human pathogen.

Replication and infectivity of a novel genotype 1b hepatitis C virus clone [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus infection is a major public health problem because of an estimated 170 million carriers worldwide. Genotype 1b is the major subtype of HCV in many countries and is resistant to interferon therapy. Study of the viral life cycle is important for understanding the mechanisms of interferon resistance of genotype 1b HCV strains ...

Gravin orchestrates protein kinase A and 2-adrenergic receptor signaling critical for synaptic plasticity and memory [PDF]
A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) organize compartmentalized pools of protein kinase A (PKA) to enable localized signaling events within neurons. However, it is unclear which of the many expressed AKAPs in neurons target PKA to signaling complexes ...

Recurrent hepatitis C genotype 1b following liver transplantation
Recurrent hepatitis C is very common leading to graft cirrhosis in a significant proportion of patients. Preliminary reports of combination therapy with interferon-ribavirin have been promising but generally applied to selected patients with chronic mild disease.

Hepatitis C virus genotype 1b increases cumulative lifetime risk of hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
The association between subtypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remained inconclusive and evaluated in both case–control and cohort studies. In the case–control study, 397 HCC cases from medical centers were compared with 410 community‐based non‐HCC controls.

An infectious molecular clone of a Japanese genotype 1b hepatitis C virus [PDF]
We describe an infectious molecular clone of a Japanese genotype 1b strain of hepatitis C virus (HCV-N). The molecularly cloned sequence of HCV-N was compared with alignments of other HCV sequences, leading to the identification of 15 unique, nonconservative amino acid substitutions within the HCV-N open reading frame (ORF ...

ABSTRACT Hemoglobinopathies are prevalent globally; diagnosis is complex in high genetic admixture populations like Brazil. We report, in two pediatric siblings, the first documented cases in Brazil of heterozygosity for hemoglobin (Hb) O‐Arab with coinheritance of α‐thalassemia (αα/−α4.2; −α3.7/−α4.2), resulting in microcytic and hypochromic anemia ...
