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

Immunopathogenesis of Hepatitis B Virus [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017 Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health issue. There are >250 million people chronically infected with HBV, and these chronic carriers are at high risk of developing end-stage liver diseases and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatitis B Virus Biology [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2000 SUMMARYHepadnaviruses (hepatitis B viruses) cause transient and chronic infections of the liver. Transient infections run a course of several months, and chronic infections are often lifelong. Chronic infections can lead to liver failure with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatitis B virus taxonomy and hepatitis B virus genotypes [PDF]
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a member of the hepadnavirus family. Hepadnaviruses can be found in both mammals (orthohepadnaviruses) and birds (avihepadnaviruses). The genetic variability of HBV is very high. There are eight genotypes of HBV and three clades of HBV isolates from apes that appear to be additional genotypes of HBV.

Intervirology, 1999 During hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, selection and takeover of mutant viruses are frequent events driven by both humoral and cellular host-immune response and antiviral therapy. Therefore, dynamic studies of the variations of viral mutants over time within the overall viral population in relation with the host-virus interactions are extremely ...

Maternal pre-pregnancy infection with hepatitis B virus and the risk of preterm birth: a population-based cohort study [PDF]
, 2017 Background Preterm birth is the leading cause of child death in children younger than 5 years. Large cohort studies in developed countries have shown that maternal hepatitis B virus infection is associated with preterm birth, but there is little ...

Drug-related mutational patterns in hepatitis B virus (HBV) reverse transcriptase proteins from Iranian treatment-Naïve chronic HBV patients [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Immunomodulators and Nucleotide analogues have been used globally for the dealing of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, the development of drug resistance is a major limitation to their long-term effectiveness.
