Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Pseudotyped HCV particle (HCVpp) reporter assay
Description:  Plasmids expressing HCV E1 and E2 envelope proteins of GT1a H77 strain (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1997 94:8738-43) or GT1b Con1 strain (Science 1999 285:110-3) were constructed by cloning the nucleic acids encoding the last 60 amino acids of HCV core protein and all of the HCV E1 and E2 proteins into pcDNA3.1(+) vector. Plasmid pVSV-G expressing the glycoprotein G of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV G) is from Clontech (cat #631530). The HIV packaging construct expressing the firefly luciferase reporter gene was modified based on the envelope defective pNL.4.3.Luc-R .E vector (Virology 1995 206:935-44) by further deleting part of the HIV envelope protein.
