New hepatitis C culture method

Medical Laboratory Observer, March, 2007

> New hepatitis C culture method. Researchers at the University of Washington have created a new culture method for hepatitis C using a human fetal hepatocyte-culture system previously developed in their lab. The new method solves the obstacle of hepatitis C virus replication in hepatocytes (liver cells) and allows culturing of a wide array of virus strains, which should better enable differentiation between strains and more effective treatment strategies.
