FIG. 2.
Receptor down-modulation correlates with viral protein expression upon DHBV infection of cultured cells. Western blots of cultured duck hepatocytes, harvested at the indicated time points postinfection, probed with an antiserum against gp180/CPD (upper panels), DHBV L protein (middle panels), and DHBV core protein (lower panels). 20*, anti-gp180/CPD immunoblot of the respective uninfected control cells 20 days post-mock infection. Panels A and B show two kinetically diverse experiments.
