A novel cell culture model reveals the viral interference during hepatitis B and C coinfection

Conclusions: HepG2-NTCP/CD81/Mir122 fully supports HBV/HCV coinfection, replication and interaction. This novel cell model offers a platform to advance our understanding of the molecular details of the interaction, pathogenesis and outcomes of HBV/HCV coinfection.PMID:33705864 | DOI:10.1016/j.antiviral.2021.105061
