Abstract
We previously demonstrated that the human lymphoblastoid B-cell line (LCL) TOFE, derived from normal human bone marrow, is permissive to HCV infection. In this report we developed an in vitro HCV adsorption-inhibition assay based on TOFE cells, to reveal the presence of neutralizing antibodies in sera from acutely infected patients.
