Expanding the Host Range of Hepatitis C Virus through Viral Adaptation
ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus (HCV) species tropism is incompletely understood. We have previously shown that at the level of entry, human CD81 and occludin (OCLN) comprise the minimal set of human factors needed for viral uptake into murine cells. As an alternative approach to genetic humanization, sp...
