Nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) is a viral protein found in the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, having the key function of replicating HCV's viral RNA by using the viral positive RNA strand as a template to catalyze the polymerization of ribonucleoside triphosphates (rNTP) during RNA replication. Several crystal structures of NS5B polymerase in several crystalline forms have been determined based on the same consensus sequence BK (HCV-BK, genotype 1). The structure can be represented by a right hand shape with fingers, palm, and thumb. The encircled active site, unique to NS5B, is contained within the palm structure of the protein. Recent studies on NS5B protein genotype 1b strain J4’s (HC-J4) structure indicate a presence of an active site where possible control of nucleotide binding occurs and initiation of de-novo RNA synthesis. De-novo adds necessary primers for initiation of RNA replication.

This invention discloses a primer set for amplifying a novel HCV subtype 6xp and a primer set for detecting drug resistance mutations. The primer set for amplifying the novel HCV subtype 6xp includes nested PCR primers for amplifying the full length of the novel HCV subtype 6xp, while the primer set for detecting drug resistance mutations is a set of primers targeting drug resistance mutation sites in the three functional regions of NS3, NS5A, and NS5B. The primer set provided by this invention has high specificity and high amplification efficiency, enabling specific amplification of the entire genome of the novel HCV subtype 6xp and accurate detection of drug resistance mutation sites in the three functional regions. It is suitable for clinical diagnosis, antiviral treatment guidance, epidemiological surveys, and viral evolution research of this subtype, and has significant clinical application value and scientific research significance.
