Hepatitis delta antigens enhance the ribozyme activities of hepatitis delta virus RNA in vivo [PDF]
The mechanism of regulation for the ribozyme activity of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA in infected cells is unknown. Previously, we developed a direct assay capable of detecting the ribozyme activity of HDV dimer or trimer RNAs in vivo (K.-S. Jeng, A. Daniel, and M. M. C. Lai, J. Virol, 70:2403-2410, 1996).

Immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma: the complex interface between inflammation, fibrosis, and the immune response. [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and confers a poor prognosis. Beyond standard systemic therapy with multikinase inhibitors, recent studies demonstrate the potential for robust and durable responses ...

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and S-Escape Mutants: From the Beginning until Now [PDF]
Despite of the progress made in vaccine and antiviral therapy development, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major health care problem. More than 240 million people are chronically infected worldwide showing differences in the severity of liver

Hepatitis Delta Antigen Regulates mRNA and Antigenome RNA Levels during Hepatitis Delta Virus Replication [PDF]
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a satellite of hepatitis B virus that increases the severity of liver disease; approximately 15 million people are chronically infected worldwide. There are no licensed therapies available. HDV is not related to any known virus, and few details regarding its replication cycle are known. One key question is whether and how

Hepatitis delta virus genome replication: a polyadenylated mRNA for delta antigen [PDF]
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) replicates its genome in the nucleus of an infected cell. However, an unsolved problem has been the identification in the cytoplasm of a putative mRNA for the synthesis of the only virus-coded protein, the delta antigen.

Hepatitis Delta Virus: A Peculiar Virus
The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is distributed worldwide and related to the most severe form of viral hepatitis. HDV is a satellite RNA virus dependent on hepatitis B surface antigens to assemble its envelope and thus form new virions and propagate ...

Tracking TCRß sequence clonotype expansions during antiviral therapy using high-throughput sequencing of the hypervariable region [PDF]
To maintain a persistent infection viruses such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) employ a range of mechanisms that subvert protective T cell responses. The suppression of antigen-specific T cell responses by HCV hinders efforts to profile T cell responses ...

Positive Selection of Hepatitis Delta Antigen in Chronic Hepatitis D Patients [PDF]
ABSTRACTLiver disease may become ameliorated in some patients with chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection. We present here a study based on longitudinal sampling to investigate the viral dynamics in chronic HDV infection. We examined the HDV variants from different time points, especially those before and after the elevation of serum ...
