Figure 5. Characterization of long-term HCV-Bla infected stable cells.

Huh7 cells were infected with JFH1 or 420Bla viruses at an MOI of 0.01 for 12 hr, and cells were cultured for additional two days. Half of the 420Bla virus-infected cells was cultured with or without blasticidin. At the indicated times, the extracellular viral infectivity (A), intracellular viral RNA amounts (B), and viral protein expressions (C) of infected cells were determined.
