2 Fig. 1 Chimeric transgenic mice repopulated with human hepatocytes for the study of HCV infection. Hemizygous Alb-uPA mice were crossed to homozygosity with homozygous SCID/bg mice. The resulting Alb-uPA/SCID mice can be transplanted with human hepatocytes and support HCV infection from human infected-serum or recombinant cell culture-derived HCV (HCVcc). This model has been successfully used to study virus–host interactions in infected hepatocytes as well as the evaluation of antiviral strategies including antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies. The evaluation of cell therapy products may represent another application of this model in the future. Journal of Hepatology  , DOI: ( /j.jhep ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
