title: Selective transmission of hepatitis C virus in vivo and in vitro.
abstract: A human plasma containing quasi-species of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was inoculated to a chimpanzee and to human lymphocytic cell lines, HPB-Ma clone 10-2, AD HPB, and Daudi, which support replication of HCV. Among six different hypervariable region (HVR) sequences detected in the inoculum, the same two were recovered both in vivo and in vitro.
