a

Number of times that this variant was found/ total number of colonies analyzed.

b

EC50 of ombitasvir in replicon containing the variant in NS5A determined using transient luciferase assay.

c

Fold resistance was evaluated in a stable chimeric replicon cell line harboring the amino acid substitution; therefore, the EC50 in transient assay is not shown.

d

Only 8 colonies (out of 1 × 106 cells) survived exposure to 1,000-fold the EC50 of ombitasvir.

e

ND, not determined.
