Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular relates to a nucleic acid aptamer, a derivative of the nucleic acid aptamer and a screening method and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a serious global health problem, with 200 million infected people worldwide. It is estimated that there are 3-4 million new infections each year. About 40 million to 50 million people in my country are infected with HCV, second only to the number of hepatitis B carriers.
[0003] Currently, the standard treatment for hepatitis C virus is interferon or interferon combined with ribavirin. Treatment of patients infected with genotypes 2 and 3 has an HCV eradication rate of 75% to 90%, however, about 50% of patients infected with HCV types 1 and 4 remain insensitive. Although the addition of ribavirin can enhance the level of sustained antiviral response, it can also bring about s...
