A Useful Method to Provide Infectious and Cultivable In Vitro Naked Viral Particles of Hepatitis A Virus

Résumé

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is an enteric virus mainly transmitted by the faecal–oral route. Belonging to the Picornaviridae family, HAV was first described as small naked particles, like all viruses of this family. However, for about a decade, it was demonstrated that HAV particles can exist surrounded by a lipid bilayer. This type of particle, called enveloped HAV (eHAV), acquires its lipid bilayer by hijacking a part of cell membranes during the virion egress in the last steps of the viral cycle. In vitro culture systems produce mainly eHAV, and so, to date, most of the studies on HAV have been carried out using this type of viral particle. In this study, a method based on lipid bilayer removal by chemical delipidation is proposed for the production of naked HAV particles. The resulting naked HAV particles conserve their infectivity and are therefore fully cultivable in vitro. By using this method, naked HAV particles can easily be produced in vitro and can be useful to perform further studies such as inactivation processes for the food industry, as HAV is a main concern for food safety.
