Fig. 5. Indirect immunofluorescence assay of E2 antigen in Meg-01 cells. Cells were cultured with or without GBV-C/HGV inoculation and harvested 3 days later. Cytocentrifuged preparations were fixed with methanolacetone and stained with rabbit anti-GBV-C/HGV antiserum followed by anti-rabbit FITC conjugate and examined by UV microscopy. (a) Cells inoculated with GBV-C/HGV-positive serum. (b) Non-inoculated control cells.
