Meanings of infect hepatocytes in English

Although both viruses infect hepatocytes, the molecular virology and cellular biology of their respective replication cycles differ.

IFN gamma also exhibited antiviral activity in GBV-B infected hepatocytes.

Culture supernatants from HIV- infected hepatocytes were capable of infecting a non-hepatic HIV indicator cell line.

Interestingly, treatment of GBV-B- infected hepatocytes with ribavirin resulted in an approximately 4-log decrease in viral RNA levels.

Antiretroviral therapy for HIV, and associated immune reconstitution, may result in immune-mediated liver damage as HBV- infected hepatocytes are targeted.

Our results indicated that B. abortus- infected hepatocytes have an increased MHC-I expression, but MHC-II levels remain at basal levels.

CD8+ T cells recognizing parasite-derived peptides on the surface of infected hepatocytes are likely the primary protective mechanism.

Conclusions: Hepatitis C virus nonstructural genes induce an increased expression of transforming growth factor beta1 and other profibrogenic factors in infected hepatocytes.

The present study was performed to determine the kinetics of disappearance of infected hepatocytes and to evaluate the role of hepatocyte turnover in this process.
