Down-regulation of cell membrane localized NTCP expression in proliferating hepatocytes prevents hepatitis B virus infection

ABSTRACTHepatocyte proliferation could result in the loss of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and the emergence of cccDNA-cleared nascent hepatocytes, which appear refractory to hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection with unknown mechanism(s). Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP...
