Genotype-Specific Complementation of Hepatitis Delta Virus RNA Replication by Hepatitis Delta Antigen [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1998
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.

Clinical and virological heterogeneity of hepatitis delta in different regions world‐wide: The Hepatitis Delta International Network (HDIN)

open access: yes, 2017
Background & Aims: Chronic hepatitis D (delta) is a major global health burden. Clinical and virological characteristics of patients with hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection and treatment approaches in different regions world-wide are poorly defined ...

Escaping high viral load exhaustion: CD8 cells with altered tetramer binding in chronic hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
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

open access: yesAdvances in Virology, 2013
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1991
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.

Seroprevalence of viral hepatitis in riverine communities from the Western Region of the Brazilian Amazon Basin

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
The western region of the Brazilian Amazon Basin has long been shown to be a highly endemic area for hepatitis B and hepatitis D viruses. Data concerning the prevalence of hepatitis C and E viruses in this region are still scarce.

Redistribution of the delta antigens in cells replicating the genome of hepatitis delta virus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1996
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]

open access: yes, 2005
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

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2011
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.
