Liver chimeric mice with tupaia hepatocyte transplantation as an animal model for hepatitis B virus infection and antiviral therapy
The human liver chimeric mouse is a milestone animal model for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Such mice with primary human hepatocyte (PHH) transplantation are adequate to support chronic HBV infection for several weeks and to evaluate antiviral drugs. However, the drawbacks of PHHs include lack...
