摘要: Summary The ability to obtain primary long-term cultures of human foetal hepatocytes maintaining liver differentiation characteristics in serum-free medium prompted us test their susceptibility hepatitis C virus infection. Using PCR, we detected the presence HCV RNA-positive strand supernatants and cells virus-infected hepatocyte cultures, at various times post-infection. Evidence effective genome replication multiplication was also based on time-dependent appearance putative RNA-negative strand, detection replicative intermediates an increase genomic templates HCV-infected cells.
