Establishment of a novel hepatitis B virus culture system using immortalized human hepatocytes

Abstract Recent development of hepatitis B virus (HBV) culture systems has made it possible to analyze the almost all steps of the viral life cycle. However, the reproducibility of interaction between HBV and host cells seemed inaccurate in those systems because of utilization of cancer cell lines w...
