Point-of-Care Testing for Hepatitis Viruses: A Growing Need

open access: yesLife, 2023
Viral hepatitis, caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis D virus (HDV), or hepatitis E virus (HEV), is a major global public health problem.

Assessment of the cross-protective capability of recombinant capsid proteins derived from pig, rat, and avian hepatitis E viruses (HEV) against challenge with a genotype 3 HEV in pigs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route through contaminated water supplies, although many sporadic cases of hepatitis E are transmitted zoonotically via direct contact with infected ...

Serum hepatitis B virus RNA levels as a predictor of HBeAg seroconversion during treatment with peginterferon alfa-2a

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2019
Background Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion represents an endpoint of treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. Methods We have studied whether levels of serum hepatitis B virus ribonucleic acid (HBV RNA) during pegylated ...

Chemiluminescent Optical Fiber Immunosensor Combining Surface Modification and Signal Amplification for Ultrasensitive Determination of Hepatitis B Antigen

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Optical fiber based immunosensors are very attractive for biomarker detection. In order to improve the sensor response, we propose a promising strategy which combines porous-layer modification of the fiber surface and streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase nano ...

Hepatitis B functional cure and immune response

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a hepatotropic virus, which damage to hepatocytes is not direct, but through the immune system. HBV specific CD4+ T cells can induce HBV specific B cells and CD8+ T cells.

Correlation Between Quantitative Hepatitis B Surface Antigen and Hepatitis B Virus Deoxyribonucleic Acid Levels in Hepatitis B e Antigen-Positive and Hepatitis B e AntigenNegative Chronic Hepatitis B Patients

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2023
This study aimed to analyze the relationship between quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid in hepatitis B e antigen-positive and hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B patients and to determine the best cut-off value for quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen to predict high hepatitis B virus

Apoptotic epitope-specific CD8+ T cells and interferon signaling intersect in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
CD8(+) T cells specific to caspase-cleaved antigens derived from apoptotic T cells represent a principal player in chronic immune activation (CIA). Here, we found that both apoptotic epitope (AE)-specific and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8(+) T ...

MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.

Are serum quantitative hepatitis b surface antigen levels, liver histopathology and viral loads related in chronic hepatitis b-infected patients?

open access: yesThe Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
Background/Aims: Fluctuations in hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels complicate assessment of the phases of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection and correct identification of the inactive HBV carrier state.
