摘要
丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)是慢性肝炎的主要病因之一,其基因组为单股正链 RNA,包膜蛋白 E2在 HCV 入侵宿主细胞中起重要作用,CD81可能是HCV 的受体或共同受体,进一步研究 CD81和 HCV E2的相互作用,有助于HCV 的治疗和预防。
Hepatitis C virus(HCV)is the main cause of patients infected with chronic hepatitis. Binding of the HCV envelope protein E2 to CD81 provides a costimulatory signal for human cells. CD81 molecule may be a putative receptor for HCV and represent one of the pathways by which HCV can infect hepatocytes.This phenomenon may play a role in liver damage and autoimmune manifesta- tions associated with HCV infection.Further studies on interaction between CD81 and HCV E2 will be helpful in prevention and treatment of HCV.
