Abstract:Currently, there is a lack of systems for studying the role of hepatitis B viral proteins, such as HBeAg and HBcAg, on liver injury. It is necessary to develop an original tool in order to clarify the role of these viral proteins in hepatic stellate cell activation, and to understand the molecular mechanisms of liver injury. HepaRG are the most reliable hepatocyte-like cells for studying liver functions or disorders. In this paper, we demonstrate that the transduction of differentiated HepaRG (dHepaRG) cells c… Show more
“…However, commonly used viral titers are 10 5 TU per mL or higher which are greater than the titers shown in this study. 7,13,36,37 Thus, at the relevant higher concentrations this model is specic for the virus particles containing an inserted GFP gene.…”

“…Current methods of characterizing viruses and determining viral titer include ELISA, 5 PCR, 6,7 and cell culture. 8 Although these methods are reliable for detecting and quantifying viruses, there are some disadvantages.…”
Lentiviruses are commonly used to deliver genetic code into host cells for biomedical applications, such as gene therapy, pharmaceuticals, and vaccine development. Knowing the infectious titer of these virus particles...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
