丙型肝炎病毒是在80 年代末才被确认的正链RNA 病毒,目前对丙型肝炎病毒的研究因为没有合适的活体实验模型和细胞系,而受到很大的限制。但由于HCV 的独特性和危害性,而成为众多科学家研究的热点。本文将根据近年来一些HCV 研究的进展,对病毒的结构形态、加工、病毒流行病学,肝癌相关性,病毒分子生物学检测手段以及疫苗研究等方面做一扼要综述 Hepatitis C virus is a positive-stranded RNA virus that was not confirmed until the late 1980s and the current study of hepatitis C virus is largely limited by the lack of suitable in vivo experimental models and cell lines. However, due to the uniqueness and harmfulness of HCV, it has become a hot spot for many scientists. Based on the progress of some HCV research in recent years, this review summarizes the morphological structure, processing, epidemiology of virus, relevance of liver cancer, detection methods of virus molecular biology and vaccine research
