Through a combined approach of testing, using swine sera obtained from experimental infections and from the field, and comparison of immunoassays using Bayesian evaluation of
Possible mechanisms of LD redistribution induced by the HCV core protein LDs that have initially emerged from the ER bilayer as a lens-shape mass of neutral lipids
However, early studies of cells infected with the JFH-1 virus showed that the core protein was detected at the surface of lipid droplets or in association with the ER membranes
Specific effects of the HCV genotype 3 core protein have been observed in cellular models in vitro: mechanisms linked to a decrease in microsomal triglyceride transfer
For cells expressing wild-type HBc (Fig. 5G; yellow dots), most of the measurements showed that this protein was essentially in an oligomeric form, and this even at low protein
This phenomenon was observed in the hepatoma cell line Huh7 infected with the complete virus (the JFH-1 strain), but also in Huh7 cells producing only the mature HCV core
Moreover, an absence of core protein at the LD sur- face was associated with higher levels of virus secretion for the C10M-JFH-1 construct than for the wt-JFH-1 construct,
