HCV core protein expression in HuH-7 stable transfectants. a Map of pcCAG39EFneo, the mammalian expression vector for cloning and expressing HCV core protein fragment (nt 1-191). b Western Blot detection of the HCV core protein constitutively expressed in HuH-7-CORE cell lysates. β-actin detection in the same blot is shown as loading control. c Immunofluorescence of the HCV core protein expression in HuH-7-CORE cell lines showing its peri-nuclear localization
