Abstract

We have previously reported that immortalized human hepatocytes (IHH) support the generation of infectious hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1a (clone H77). In the present study, we have investigated the growth of HCV genotype 1a (clone H77) through serial passages and accompanying changes in IHH in response to infection. Eleven serial passages of HCV genotype 1a (clone H77) in IHH were completed. Virus replication was ascertained from the presence of HCV-specific sequences, the detection of core antigen, the virus genome copy number, and the virus titer in IHH culture fluid. Electron microscopy suggested that HCV infection induces autophagic vacuole formation in IHH. Fluorescence microscopy displayed localization of autophagic markers, microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain-3 and Apg5, on the vacuoles of HCV-infected hepatocytes. Taken together, our results suggested that HCV genotype 1a (clone H77) can be serially passaged in IHH and that HCV infection induces an autophagic response in hepatocytes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
