Hepatitis C: a mouse at the end of the tunnel

Marco Binder et al. Cell Res. 2013 Dec.

Abstract

Since its discovery in 1989, researchers strive after a small animal model for Hepatitis C virus infection, so far with very limited success. A study recently published in Nature now for the first time reports the recapitulation of the complete life cycle of this virus in inbred mice with a functional adaptive immune system.
