Properties of the hepatitis C virus core protein: a structural protein that modulates cellular processes

McLauchlan·2000·Journal of Viral Hepatitis

Abstract

The core protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is believed to form the capsid shell of virus particles. Maturation of the protein is achieved through cleavage by host cell proteases to give a product of 21 000 MW, which is found in tissue culture systems and sera from infected individuals. However, efficient propagation of the virus is not possible at present in tissue culture. Hence, studies have focused on the properties of the core protein and its possible role in pathologies associated with HCV infection. This review describes key features of the polypeptide and the status of current knowledge on its ability to influence several cellular processes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
