Title:
NUCLEIC ACID CONSTRUCT CONTAINING FULL-LENGTH GENOME OF HUMAN HEPATITIS C VIRUS, RECOMBINANT FULL-LENGTH VIRUS GENOME REPLICATIVE CELL HAVING THE NUCLEIC ACID CONSTRUCT TRANSFERRED THEREINTO AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING HEPATITIS C VIRAL PARTICLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/080575
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a method of efficiently replicating RNA containing the full-length genome sequence of HCV; a method of preparing viral particles of HCV containing full-length HCV replicon RNA or full-length HCV genome RNA by using a cell culture system; a method of producing hepatitis C viral particles which comprises culturing cells having replicon RNA comprising the full-length RNA sequence of hepatitis C virus of the genotype 2a and a base sequence containing at least one selection marker and/or at least one reporter gene and at least one IRES sequence or the full-length genome RNA of hepatitis C virus of the genotype 2a to thereby allowing the production of viral particles in the culture medium; a hepatitis C vaccine; and an antibody against hepatitis C viral particles.
