Chronic Hepatitis C
Cellular compartmentalization is a trait of hepatitis C virus-host interactions
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, June 28th, 2004
"Hepatitis C virus (HCV) behaves in infected patients as a complex mixture of genetically distinct but closely related variants referred to as a 'quasispecies.' By using quasispecies analysis strategies, we showed that HCV nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) has a quasispecies distribution in infected humans and that NS5A quasispecies undergo significant genetic evolution over time, as a result of random accumulation of nucleotide mutations during replication. Genetic evolution of the NS5A quasispecies results in sporadic amino acid changes in the protein sequence," scientists in France...
