Simultaneous detection of HBV and HDV infection in vitro. (A) The HepG2-NTCP infectious cell culture model was characterized by flow cytometry and confocal imaging and the cells were used for HDV or HBV mono-infection and HBV&HDV co-infection, respectively. Representative images for immunofluorescence (IF) of HBcAg for the mock control (B, top), HBV single infection (B, middle), HDV single (B, down) and HBV-HDV coinfection (C) by detecting HBcAg and HDAg, respectively. Quantification of HBeAg levels (D) by ELISA and HBV DNA (E) and HDV RNA (F) copy numbers by (RT-)qPCR in the supernatants at the indicated timepoints. The data are shown as mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments.
