Genotype-Specific Complementation of Hepatitis Delta Virus RNA Replication by Hepatitis Delta Antigen [PDF]
ABSTRACT Characterizations of genetic variations among hepatitis delta virus (HDV) isolates have focused principally on phylogenetic analysis of sequences, which vary by 30 to 40% among three genotypes and about 10 to 15% among isolates of the same genotype.

Escaping high viral load exhaustion: CD8 cells with altered tetramer binding in chronic hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]
Deletion, anergy, and a spectrum of functional impairments can affect virus-specific CD8 cells in chronic viral infections. Here we characterize a low frequency population of CD8 cells present in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection which survive in

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 ...

The large form of hepatitis delta antigen is crucial for assembly of hepatitis delta virus. [PDF]
The virions of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) contain two species of HDV-specific protein, a large and a small form of hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg). We examined the role of individual HDAgs in virion assembly in cotransfection experiments. First, we constructed a replication-competent HDV mutant expressing only the small HDAg.

Redistribution of the delta antigens in cells replicating the genome of hepatitis delta virus [PDF]
When the small form of the delta antigen (deltaAg-S) was expressed from a cDNA expression plasmid and subsequently detected by immunofluorescence, it was found localized to the nucleoli. However, if the cDNA was cotransfected with a cDNA expressing a mutated hepatitis delta virus (HDV) genome that could only replicate by using the deltaAg-S provided by

Modulation of the CD8+-T-cell response by CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in patients with Hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]
CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells have been shown to maintain peripheral tolerance against self and foreign antigens. In this study we analyzed the effect of circulating CD4+ CD25+ T cells on CD8+-T-cell responses of patients with chronic and resolved ...

The heterogeneous ribonuclear protein C interacts with the hepatitis delta virus small antigen
Background Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is considered to be a satellite virus of the Hepatitis B virus. The genome consists of a 1679 nt ssRNA molecule in which a single ORF was identified.
