Viral kinetics suggests a reconciliation of the disparate observations of the modulation of claudin-1 expression on cells exposed to hepatitis C virus.
The tight junction protein claudin-1 (CLDN1) is necessary for hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into target cells. Recent studies have made disparate observations of the modulation of the expression of CLDN1 on cells following infection by HCV. In one study, the mean CLDN1 expression on cells exposed to...
