Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are methods for determining the susceptibility of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a patient to anti-viral agents, particularly cyclophilin inhibitors such as cyclosporine A. More particularly, provided herein are methods for determining the amino acid sequence within a region of the HCV NS5A protein and comparing the viral amino acid sequence to that of a reference strain, wherein the existence of at least one variation in the viral genome is indicative that the virus is more or less susceptible to anti-viral agents relative to the reference strain. Also provided are isolated polynucleotide molecules, replicons, and kits that can be used to assay the susceptibility of a particular HCV to an anti-viral agent.
