In this article, a clone of HepG2 stably expressing CD81 (HepG2-CD81) was used. Unfortunately, after cell line authentication, it appeared that this clone was misidentified and that these cells correspond in fact to HuH-7 cells [1]. The authors apologize for the confusion this misidentification might have caused even though it does not affect the main conclusions of the article.
