Hepatitis B virus replication [PDF]

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
Hepadnaviruses, including human hepatitis B virus (HBV), replicate through reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate, the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). Despite this kinship to retroviruses, there are fundamental differences beyond the fact that hepadnavirions contain DNA instead of RNA.

Interferon-α for Immune Modulation in Chronic Hepatitis B Toward Functional Cure

Viruses
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a major global health challenge, largely due to the persistence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and impaired host immunity.

A novel monoclonal antibody targeting a conserved inner region of the hepatitis B virus envelope enables broad detection of immune escape variants

Virus Research
The detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is fundamental for the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). However, current diagnostic assays that rely on antibodies targeting the conformational “a” determinant of HBsAg are frequently ...

Leprosy and hepatitis B coinfection in southern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
To investigate the association of leprosy with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as yet unknown for South Brazil, we assessed hepatitis B virus coinfection in 199 South Brazilian leprosy patients (119 lepromatous, 15 tuberculoid, 30 borderline, 12 ...

Hepatitis B virus and Hepatocarcinogenesis

Annals of Hepatology, 2008
Hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection is the commonest cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV DNA is the most important predictor of hepatocarcinogenesis in HB surface antigen positive patients. We reviewed the mechanism of hepatocarcinogenesis on molecular level with a special emphasis on the role of X-protein. Hepatitis B X-protein communicates with host
