Role of antiviral therapy in the natural history of hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver disease [PDF]
, 2015 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dynamic state of interactions among HBV, hepatocytes, and the host immune system. Natural history studies of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection have shown an association between active viral replication and adverse

Characterization of the hepatitis B virus DNA detected in urine of chronic hepatitis B patients
BMC Gastroenterology, 2018 Background Detection of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the urine of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) has been reported previously, suggesting urine could provide a potential route of horizontal HBV transmission.

Maternal transmission risk and antibody levels against hepatitis B virus e antigen in pregnant women
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014 Background: The generation of antibodies (anti-HBe) against hepatitis B virus (HBV) e antigen (HBeAg) often coincides with clinical remission in chronic HBV patients. We aimed to examine the effect of maternal anti-HBe in protection against HBV mother-to-

Presence and integration of HBV DNA in mouse oocytes
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2005 Hepatitis B is a worldwide public health problem. To explore the feasibility of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vertical transmission via oocytes, the presence and integration of HBV DNA in mouse oocytes were studied.Genomic DNA was isolated and metaphases were prepared, respectively from mouse oocytes cocultured with pBR322-HBV DNA plasmids.
