Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The aim of this study was to determine the inhibition of binding activity of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) D32.10 which recognizes a highly conserved discontinuous antigenic determinant (E1:297-306, E2:480-494, and E2:613-621) expressed on the surface of serum-derived HCV particles (HCVsp) of genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a, and 3a. To this end, an in vitro direct cell-binding assay based on the attachment of radiolabeled HCVsp was developed, and Scatchard plots were used to analyze ligand-receptor binding data. HCV adsorption was also assessed by quantitating cell-associated viral RNA by a real-time RT-PCR method. Saturable concentration-dependent specific binding of HCVsp to Huh-7 or HepaRG cells was demonstrated. The Scatchard transformed data showed two-site interaction for Huh-7 and proliferative HepaRG cells: the high-affinity binding sites (K = 0.1-0.5 μg/ml) and the low-affinity binding sites (K = 5-10 μg/ml), and one-site high-affinity binding model between E1E2/D32.10-positive HCVsp and hepatocyte-like differentiated HepaRG cells. The E1E2-specific mAb D32.10 inhibited efficiently (>60%) and selectively the binding with an IC ≤0.5 μg/ml in all the experimental approaches using serum HCV of genotype either 3 or 1b. This supports the involvement of the E1E2/D32.10 discontinuous antigenic determinant in the interactions between human hepatocytes and HCVsp, and suggests that D32.10-like antibodies present in sera from patients infected with HCV could play a protective role. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
