Abstract
⺠We establish HCV-Tg mice regulated by the Cre/loxP system and an AdV/Cre. ⺠We examine effects of an AdV/Cre bearing the EF1α promoter, AxEFCre. ⺠AxEFCre-injected HCV-Tg mice show clearly liver injury due to HCV protein expression. ⺠AxEFCre injection enables the HCV-Tg mice to persistently express HCV protein. ⺠AxEFCre efficiently promotes DNA recombination in vivo without a severe hepatitis.
