Summary of hiPSC-HLCs and hHLC-FRGS mice supporting HBV infection. hiPSCs were induced to differentiate to hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs). The hHLCs are characterized by examining their expression of hALB, hAAT, hRXR, hNTCP, and hHNF4α. This study included the generation and characterization of hiPSC-HLCs, the maintenance of long-term hepatic differentiation state and in vitro HBV infection, generation of human liver chimeric hHLC-FRGS mice by hiPSC-HLCs engraftment, establishment of chronic HBV infection.
