Sodium Taurocholate Cotransporting Polypeptide Mediates Woolly Monkey Hepatitis B Virus Infection of Tupaia Hepatocytes
18 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Primary Tupaia hepatocytes (PTHs) are susceptible to woolly monkey hepatitis B virus (WMHBV) infection, but the identity of the cellular receptor(s) mediating WMHBV infection of PTHs remains unclear. Recently, sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) was identified as a functional receptor for human hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection of primary human and Tupaia hepatocytes. In this study, a synthetic...
