Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention is a technical field of animal model preparation, which involves a method of building a mouse model that expresses hepatitis B virus receptor -human NTCP. Background technique
[0002] Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection is a major issue that affects human health globally.Chronic hypomential inflammatory lesions caused by HBV infection often develop to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and eventually lead to death.According to the World Health Organization, about 2 billion people around the world have infected HBV and currently about 350 million people are chronic infected by HBV. These people have progressing the risk of cirrhosis, liver failure or liver cancer.30%of the global cirrhosis and more than 50%of liver cancer are caused by HBV infections. The number of deaths caused by HBV infections is about 1 million to 2 million each year.Liver disease caused by HBV infection is still a major public health problem that needs to be solved.For a...
