Correction to: Arch Virol (2011) 156:1013–1023 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00705-011-0943-x

It recently came to our attention that the original article contains two errors in Fig. 1A and Fig. 2 occurred during the process of figure assembly. The corrected Fig. 1A and Fig. 2 are shown below.

While these errors do not affect the overall conclusion of our reported work, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by these unintended errors to the journal and its readers.

Cytosolic accumulation and nuclear translocation of β-catenin induced by HCV core. SMMC-7721 cells were infected with AdGFP (panels A to C), AdCore (panels D to F) or AdWnt3A (panels G to I) for 24 h. Cells were fixed and stained with an anti-β-catenin antibody and a fluorescence labeled secondary antibody. Cells were counterstained with 4’, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to label nuclei. The presence of β-catenin was visualized under a confocal immunofluorescence microscope. Nuclear translocation of β-catenin is indicated by arrows
