Cover Image: HBV infection in HepG2 cells reconstituted with the viral receptor NTCP (HepG2-NTCP). HepG2NTCP cells were infected with HBV, on day 7 post infection, the core antigen of HBV (HBc) was stained with an antiHBc monoclonal antibody (1C10) in green, HBc antigen is distributed both in cell nuclei and cytoplasm. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI in blue.
