## Abstract A strain of hepatitis E virus (HEV), the 87A strain isolated in 2BS cells from the feces of a patient with hepatitis E, has been reported previously. In this study, the 87A strain was propagated in A549 cells, and the marked cytopathic effect (CPE) appeared in the infected monolayer cel

Abstract
Human diploid fibroblasts and human primary liver cell carcinoma cells (PLC/PRF/5) were infected with hepatitis A virus (HAV) adapted to growth in cell culture or derived directly from human stool. Viral antigen was expressed in PLC/PRF/5 cells 28 days after infection with cell culture‐adapted HAV, and 50 days after infection with virus from human stool. In human fibroblasts the periods until first expression of viral antigen were 90 and 210 days, respectively. During further passages of HAV in fibroblasts the time of first appearance of antigen decreased to about 28 days. Biophysical properties of HAV extracted from infected fibroblasts were comparable to those of HAV derived directly from human stool. Immunofluorescence studies showed that the antigen was located exclusively within the cytoplasm of the infected fibroblasts. Kinetics of antigen production indicated that an equilibrium between virus multiplication and cell metabolism was reached in persistently infected fibroblasts.
