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

Memorias 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.

The heterogeneous ribonuclear protein C interacts with the hepatitis delta virus small antigen

Virology 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.

Antibody and B cell responses to Plasmodium sporozoites [PDF]

, 2014
Antibodies are capable of blocking infection of the liver by Plasmodium sporozoites. Accordingly the induction of anti-sporozoite antibodies is a major aim of various vaccine approaches to malaria.

Baboon-to-human liver transplantation [PDF]

, 1993
Our ability to control both the cellular and humoral components of xenograft rejection in laboratory experiments, together with an organ shortage that has placed limits on clinical transplantation services, prompted us to undertake a liver ...

The Role of Viral and Bacterial Infections in the Etiology of Behçet's Disease. [PDF]

J Clin Lab Anal
Bacterial and viral pathogens may play a key role in Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis by triggering autoimmunity, molecular mimicry, or microbiome disruption. These infectious agents could initiate inflammatory pathways, contributing to BD's diverse clinical manifestations.

Hepatitis Delta Virus among Hepatitis B Virus-Infected Patients in Jordan: Where Do We Stand? [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research, 2017
Infection by Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) which can only replicate in the presence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The prevalence of HDV in Jordan is lacking.

Structural basis of the oligomerization of hepatitis delta antigen [PDF]

Structure, 1998
BACKGROUND: The hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a small satellite virus of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Coinfection with HBV and HDV causes severe liver disease in humans. The small 195 amino-acid form of the hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg) functions as a trans activator of HDV replication.

Viral expression and molecular profiling in liver tissue versus microdissected hepatocytes in hepatitis B virus - associated hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The molecular mechanisms whereby hepatitis B virus (HBV) induces hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive. We used genomic and molecular techniques to investigate host-virus interactions by studying multiple areas of the same liver from
