Hepatitis C (HCV) Lifecycle - Medical Animation

How does hepatitis C virus infect the liver? This mode of action animation shows how the hepatitis C virus infects the liver. The HCV is usually transmitted through blood-to-blood contact. The virus replicates in the hepatocytes of the liver and circulates throughout the body. Entry into hepatocytes occurs through the interaction of the viral envelope with receptors on the surface of the host cell. The virus undergoes a fusion and uncoating step, releasing positive-strand viral RNA. HCV utilizes many of
