Our goal was to screen the HCV-encoded viral proteins that are current targets of antiviral compounds to determine the intracellular dominance relationships between drug-resistant and drug-susceptible genomes. To test whether susceptibility to NS5A inhibitors was dominant in the context of viral infections, we analyzed U, S, S + R and R cell populations by flow cytometry as previously performed for the NS3/4A inhibitor in Figure 3 . To test whether exogenously expressed drug-susceptible NS5A proteins could co-assemble with drug-resistant NS5A, we utilized the previously described HCV plasmid that expresses HA-tagged and GFP-tagged NS5A within the same polyprotein but does not support genome replication ( Figure 5A) . Failure of NS5A proteins to mix during infection is a likely explanation for the cis-dominance of drug resistance observed in cultured cells (Figure 4) . ./cache/cord-289321-ahl46ql9.txt ./txt/cord-289321-ahl46ql9.txt
