Abstract excerpt
We recently developed a cell culture system for hepatitis E virus (HEV) in PLC/PRF/5 cells, using a genotype 3 HEV (JE03-1760F strain). Thirteen generations of consecutive passages of culture supernatant were successfully carried out in PLC/PRF/5 cells, with the highest HEV load reaching 10(8) copies/ml in the culture medium. Based on continuous release of progenies into culture medium, 50% tissue culture...
