The Level of CD81 Cell Surface Expression Is a Key Determinant for Productive Entry of Hepatitis C Virus into Host Cells
27 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Recently a cell culture model supporting the complete life cycle of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) was developed. Searching for host cell determinants involved in the HCV replication cycle, we evaluated the efficiency of virus propagation in different Huh-7-derived cell clones. We found that Huh-7.5 cells and Huh7-Lunet cells, two former replicon cell clones that had been generated by removal of an HCV replicon by...
