Long-term co-infection of hepatocytes with HBV and HDV can be established in highly scalable cell culture system (SACC-PHH). Image shown is of SACC-PHH 28 days after HBV/HDV co-infection, with hepatocyte nuclei in blue, a Hepatitis B viral protein in red, and HDV genomic RNA in green.

How hepatitis B and delta viruses establish infection of liver cells
Princeton University researchers have developed a new, scalable cell culture system that allows for detailed investigation of how host cells respond to infection with hepatitis B (HBV) and delta virus (HDV). The paper describing their Continue Reading →
