Does monoclonal antibody 2-152a suppress hepatitis C virus infection through betaine/GABA transporter-1?
Our results suggest that 2-152a MAb suppresses HCV replication and infection through BGT-1. These findings highlight important roles of BGT-1 in HCV replication and reveal a possible target for anti-HCV therapy.
Renal carcinomas associated with Xp11.2 translocations should be considered, particularly in children and young patients, when the lesion has calcification and is hyper-dense on unenhanced CT, and has prolonged enhancement on contrast-enhanced images.
