Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a new method for successfully cultivating hepatitis E virus strains in vitro and improving the replication efficiency of progeny viruses. Background technique
[0002] Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a viral hepatitis pathogen that spreads through the intestinal tract and seriously endangers human health, and can infect humans and various animals across species. HEV is a non-encapsulated single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus, spherical in shape, 27-34nm in diameter and non-encapsulated. The nucleocapsid is icosahedral in three-dimensional symmetry, with protrusions and nicks on the surface, and uneven internal density. The total length of the genome is about 7.3 kb, consisting of 3 open reading frames. There are mainly four genotypes of HEV in the world, and type IV HEV strains are common in China. The transmission route of HEV is mainly through the fecal-oral route, but can also be tr...
