a

Median IC50 and median fold differences with 95% confidence interval were calculated as described in Materials and Methods. For calculation of fold differences, the IC50 obtained for the respective recombinant was related to the IC50 obtained for either SA13/JFH1orig or SA13/JFH1Core-NS5B as specified below.

b

P values were determined using the Z test as described in Materials and Methods. P values of <0.005 were considered significant and are shown in boldface.

c

For statistical analyses, these recombinants were related to the SA13/JFH1orig recombinant.

d

For statistical analyses, these recombinants were related to the SA13/JFH1Core-NS5B recombinant.

e

Neutralization assays were performed using IgG purified from serum from genotype 1a-infected patient H, taken 29 years after acute infection (H06 [59]), and human monoclonal antibodies AR3A and AR4A (60, 61), as described in Materials and Methods. NA, not applicable. —, no available data.
