Lenti-HCV E2 Pseudovirus [GFP, VSV Packaging System]
The CHO cell lines expressing HCV E2 envelope proteins were infected with VSVΔG* which encodes the GFP gene instead of the glycoprotein gene. After 16 h the infected cell supernatants were collected and the pseudotyped viruses were purified by centrifugation through sucrose density gradients. The produced pseudoviruses carry HCV E2 proteins, which is a powerful tool for HCV envelope protein function research.

Target Details
| Introduction : | Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most important causative agent of posttransfusion and sporadic non-A non-B hepatitis, infecting more than 200 million people worldwide. HCV infection becomes chronic in most cases and may eventually result in hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The HCV genome encodes two envelope glycoproteins (E1 and E2), which are thought to be responsible for receptor binding and membrane fusion resulting in virus penetration. |
| Alternative Names : | HCV E2; Envelope glycoprotein; Structural polyprotein |
