Hepatitis C Virus Infection Impairs IRF-7 Translocation and Alpha Interferon Synthesis in Immortalized Human Hepatocytes
2 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) establishes chronic infection in a significant number of infected humans, although the mechanisms for chronicity remain largely unknown. We have previously shown that HCV infection in immortalized human hepatocytes (IHH) induces beta interferon (IFN-β) expression (T. Kanda, R. Steele, R. Ray, and R. B. Ray, J. Virol. 81:12375-12381, 2007). However, the regulation of the downstream...
