HCV infection in cell cultures. Huh-7.5 cells were inoculated with JFH-1 viral stock at an moi of 1 or 0.1 and cultured for 72 h or 96 h, respectively, when approximately 80% of cells were infected. Non-infected time-matched control cells were cultured in parallel. Cells were visualized via immunofluorescence analysis with mouse monoclonal anti-HCV core antibodies (red) and counterstaining with DAPI to show the locations of nuclei (blue)
