UNC team discovers interactions vital for hepatitis A virus replication

Pharmaceutical Technology

On leaving the liver cells, the virus hijacks bits of cell membrane and conceals itself from antibodies that would have isolated the virus before it travelled far through the bloodstream. HAV usually hijacks TENT4 and utilises it for the replication of its own genome.
