“…Many studies use cell-culture-adapted strains in a Huh 7-derived hepatoma cell line with defective interferon signaling. However, these cells lack proper cell polarity and display abnormal lipid metabolism (Wakita et al, 2005, Steinmann and Pietschmann, 2013, Catanese and Dorner, 2015, Douam and Ploss, 2015.
