Proposed animal models in HCV research. For each indicated model, specific characteristics on utility and applications are indicated. For all small animal models there are areas of research that are not currently feasible, indicated with “not relevant.” aTested by intrahepatic transfection with RNA transcripts from full-length HCV clones. bActivates a cellular reporter permitting bioluminescence imaging. cChimpanzees are not necessarily good models of chronic liver disease and HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma.
