Viral hepatitis C (HCV) is a globally widespread public health infection. This is a slowly progressive human disease, often the cause of cirrhosis or primary liver cancer. Official state statistics on viral hepatitis showed that a constant increase in the incidence of hepatitis C has been registered in our country. At the same time, hepatitis C is an infection that so far has not responded to effective treatment, the effectiveness of treatment for this disease is leveled by the risk of side effects.
Until now, the main problem in the study of drugs against hepatitis C has been the impossibility of creating experimental models of productive infection caused by HCV in cell cultures or in the body of laboratory animals, which would enable researchers to conduct targeted scientifically grounded research on the development of tools and methods for treating the virus. hepatitis C.
