Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication is highly dependent on host cell factors. Identification of these host factors not only facilitates understanding of the biology of HCV infection but also enables the discovery of novel targets for anti-HCV therapy. To identify host genes important for HCV RNA rep

## Abstract ## Background There has been much research into the use of RNA interference (RNAi) for the treatment of human diseases. Many viruses, including hepatitis B virus (HBV), are susceptible to inhibition by this mechanism. However, for RNAi to be effective therapeutically, a suitable delive
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is usually treated with the combination of interferon and ribavirin, but only a small fraction of patients develop a sustained remission. There is need for the development of specific molecular approaches for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. We p
