The mode and tempo of hepatitis C virus evolution within and among hosts [PDF]
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a rapidly-evolving RNA virus that establishes chronic infections in humans. Despite the virus' public health importance and a wealth of sequence data, basic aspects of HCV molecular evolution remain poorly ...

Inhibition of hepatitis C virus infection by DNA aptamer against NS2 protein.
NS2 protein is essential for hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. NS2 protein was expressed and purified. Aptamers against NS2 protein were raised and antiviral effects of the aptamers were examined.

Cellular and Viral Determinants for Hepatitis C Virus Replication
The recent discovery of an HCV isolate which replicates in cell culture has opened up opportunities to study the full viral life cycle in vitro. This genotype 2a isolate (JFH-1) and its derivatives are the only ones known to replicate efficiently in cell
