摘要: In this study, we show that replication-competent subgenomic hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA can be transferred to permissive Huh7 cells, leading the establishment of viral replication. Further, these events are mediated by exosomes rather than infectious particles. If similar occur in vivo, could represent a novel, albeit inefficient, mechanism spread and immune escape.
