Bystander Effects and Profibrotic Interactions in Hepatic Stellate Cells during HIV and HCV Coinfection

This study aims to explore the influence of coinfection with HCV and HIV on hepatic fibrosis. A coculture system was set up to actively replicate both viruses, incorporating CD4 T lymphocytes (Jurkat), hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), and hepatocytes (Huh7.5). LX-2 cells’ susceptibility to HIV infecti...
