Autophagy by hepatitis B virus and for hepatitis B virus [PDF]

Autophagy, 2010
Autophagy is a catabolic process by which cells remove unwanted proteins and damaged organelles. It is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis and can also be used by cells to remove intracellular microbial pathogens. As such, some viruses such as herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) have evolved mechanisms to suppress autophagy for their survival. In

Variants of hepatitis B virus [PDF]

Vox Sanguinis, 1992
Variations in the course of disease caused by hepatitis B virus may often be attributed to genomic variants of the virus. It must be kept in mind, however, that other factors, i.e. immunocompetence of the host and new methods of detection such as PCR, may also result in apparently aberrant phenotypic expression.
