TITLE Japanese isolates of the non-A, non-B hepatitis viral genome show sequence variations from the original isolate in the U.S.A JOURNAL Proc. Jpn. Acad. 65, 219-223 (1989) STANDARD full staff_entry COMMENT These data kindly submitted in computer readable form by: Nobuyuki Kato National Cancer Center Research Institute 5-1-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku Tokyo 104 Japan Phone: 03-542-2511 x4701 Fax: 813-545-3567 Japanese isolates (HCV-J1, -J2a and -J2b) showed 17 to 19% diversity of nucleotide sequence from the original isolate (HCV) in the United States. The nucleotide sequences of 7 clones derived from the Plasma (HCV-J1) were basically identical, but those of 8 clones derived from the liver specimen were classified into two types (HCV-J2a (5 clones) and J2b (3 clones)).
