|
|
A series of in vitro assays are available for HCV, HBV, Influenza virus, RSV, and Herpes |
virus (HSV-1, HSV-2, HCMV) to support client Hit ID and Lead discovery effort. |
|
Anti-HCV Assay and Screening |
|
HCV replicon assays (GT1a, 1b or 2a) are available in both 96-well and 384-well format. The infectious system based on GT2a JFH-1, with or without reporter gene, is for compound screening to capture full cycle of HCV replication. HDB also provides customized replicon |
construction service for other genotypes with screening supports. |

Anti-HBV Assay and Screening |
|
A primary 96-well/384-well viral DNA qPCR or HBsAg ELISA assay is available in HDB to screen compound inhibiting HBV replication or HBsAg secretion in HepG2.2.15 cell line. Other GT (B/C/D) HBV-expressing cell lines are available for compound screening. HBV infectious system (HepG2-hNTCP or primary human hepatocyte) is also available for |
compound efficacy test. |
