Is scavenger receptor class B type I a key host factor for hepatitis C virus infection required for an entry step closely linked to CD81?
Our data suggest that SR-BI (i) represents a key host factor for HCV entry, (ii) is implicated in the same HCV entry pathway as CD81, and (iii) targets an entry step closely linked to HCV-CD81 interaction.
