Prominent Steatosis with Hypermetabolism of the Cell Line Permissive for Years of Infection with Hepatitis C Virus
9 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Most of experiments for HCV infection have been done using lytic infection systems, in which HCV-infected cells inevitably die. Here, to elucidate metabolic alteration in HCV-infected cells in a more stable condition, we established an HCV-persistently-infected cell line, designated as HPI cells. This cell line has displayed prominent steatosis and supported HCV infection for more than 2 years, which is the...
