Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a system for inducing the formation of HBV cccDNA and a construction method. Specifically, a linear genome can produce HBV cccDNA containing luciferase in liver cancer cells expressing PhiC31 recombinase, and the luciferase provides rapid detection of active HBV cccDNA The shortcut is suitable for high-throughput screening. Background technique
[0002] Hepatitis B virus (hepatitis B virus, HBV) is a DNA virus belonging to the Hepadnaviridae family. The HBV genome is about 3.2 kb in length and encodes 7 functional proteins: HBV core antigen (HBcAg), e antigen (HBeAg), surface antigen (L, M, S HBsAg), polymerase (pol) and X protein (HBx). About 240 million people worldwide are infected with HBV, of which about 25 million are chronically infected (Global Hepatitis Report, 2017). Chronic infection will greatly increase the risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, and more than 700,000 people die from HBV-related diseases ever...
