Initiation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is mediated by docking of the viral envelope to the hepatocyte cell surface membrane followed by entry of the virus into the host cell. Aiming to elucidate the impact of this interaction on host cell biology, we performed a genomic analysis of the host

We read with interest a paper by Kudo et al. published in a recent issue of HEPATOLOGY that compared the predictive power between Japan Integrated Staging (JIS) system and Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP) system in a large patient cohort with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). 1 The authors c
Because of the lack of a robust cell culture system, relatively little is known about the molecular details of the cell entry mechanism for hepatitis C virus (HCV). Recently, we described infectious HCV pseudo-particles (HCVpp) that were generated by incorporating unmodified HCV E1E2 glycoproteins i
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) pandemic affects the health of more than 170 million people and is the major indication for orthotopic liver transplantations. Although the human liver is the primary site for HCV replication, it is not known if extrahepatic tissues are also infected by the virus nor if n
