| ABSTRACT Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is considered one of the leading causes of acute viral hepatitis worldwide, and about 20 million infections and approximately 57 000 deaths occurred every year. However, little is known about the replicative virus cycle due to the absence of a consensus cell culture model. A549 cell line is considered susceptible to HEV genotype 3, however, both viral strain and cell culture conditions could affect the viral isolation in vitro. The objective of this work was to isolate in vitro an HEV-3 strain obtained from human feces. To this, a genotype 3 HEV strain previously identified by genetic characterization was inoculated in A549 monolayers, and incubated for two hours at 37 °C. Five days post-infection, cells were passaged... |
