For group 1, chimeric replicons bearing patient isolates were generated in a GT2a_JFH1 background, and potencies were determined using a TaqMan-based assay. For group 2, the GT4 NS3 subtype sequences are in a full-length ED43 background with the G162R adaptive mutation and were assayed by monitoring the luciferase activity.
Potencies were determined by using a TaqMan-based assay (group 1) or luciferase assay (group 2).
