Fighting viral infections and virus-driven tumors with cytotoxic CD4+ T cells [PDF]

, 2017
CD4+ T cells have been and are still largely regarded as the orchestrators of immune responses, being able to differentiate into distinct T helper cell populations based on differentiation signals, transcription factor expression, cytokine secretion, and

The Role of Hepatitis B Core-Related Antigen [PDF]

Genes, 2019
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) cannot be completely eliminated from infected hepatocytes due to the existence of intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). Serological biomarkers reflect intrahepatic viral replicative activity as non-invasive alternatives to liver biopsy.

Serum hepatitis B core-related antigen as a surrogate marker of hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021
Quantitative hepatitis B core-related antigen (qHBcrAg) has a better correlation with intrahepatic hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) than HBV DNA or hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), but data are still lacking for its clinical application.The aim was to investigate serum qHBcrAg levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B and

Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Reactivation of hepatitis B virus with immune-escape mutations after ocrelizumab treatment for multiple sclerosis [PDF]

, 2019
Ocrelizumab is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) that is closely related to rituximab. We describe a case of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in an MS patient with resolved HBV infection receiving ...

Hepatitis B Core Antigen: Immunology and Electron Microscopy [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1974
Two distinct viral antigens are associated with the hepatitis B virus: the hepatitis B surface antigen (HB s Ag, Australia antigen) and the hepatitis B core antigen (HB c Ag). HB s Ag, purified from the serum of asymptomatic human HB s Ag ...

Inhibition of the HCV core protein on the immune response to HBV surface antigen and on HBV gene expression and replication in vivo. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is a multifunctional protein that can interfere with the induction of an immune response. It has been reported that the HCV core protein inhibits HBV replication in vitro.

Frequency of Occult Hepatitis B in Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Hospital

Proceedings, 2021
Introduction: Occult infections (OBIs) caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) are detected by the presence of HBV DNA without surface antigens. The prevalence of HBsAg in general population of Pakistan is around 3%, but there is no data regarding the ...
