Relating structure to function in the hepatitis delta virus antigen [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1993
Hepatitis delta virus expresses two forms of a single protein, the small (delta Ag-S) and large (delta Ag-L) antigens, which are identical except for an additional 19 residues present at the C terminus of delta Ag-L. While delta Ag-S is required to promote genome replication, delta Ag-L potently inhibits this process and also facilitates packaging of ...

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of

Metal nanostructure‐coupled label‐free localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors for rapid and sensitive disease diagnosis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
LSPR biosensing enables rapid, sensitive, and low‐sample‐volume detection of biomarkers, with broad applications in diagnosing cancer, infectious, and chronic diseases. Advances in nanostructure design, micro/nanofabrication, and microfluidic integration have expanded the potential of LSPR sensors in biomedical diagnostics.

Unique Properties of the Large Antigen of Hepatitis Delta Virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1999
ABSTRACT The large form of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) protein (L) can be isoprenylated near its C terminus, and this modification is considered essential for particle assembly. Using gel electrophoresis, we separated L into two species of similar mobilities. The slower species could be labeled by the incorporation of [

Soluble B7‐H6 as a Novel Diagnostic Biomarker for Post‐Hepatitis B Cirrhosis: A Clinical Value Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of soluble B7‐H6 (sB7‐H6) as a novel diagnostic biomarker for post‐hepatitis B cirrhosis. The infographic visually presents the following key points: (1) Liver Disease Progression: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) progresses to liver cirrhosis (LC), with serum sB7‐H6 levels increasing stepwise as the disease advances. (2)

Disease Progression Mathematical Modeling With a Case Study on Hepatitis B Virus Infection

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 420-434, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Chronic Hepatitis B presents a significant health and socioeconomic burden. The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma remains elevated although treatments are available. Achieving an optimal treatment regimen necessitates a deep comprehension of the dynamic relationship between the virus and its host across disease states.

Distinct Gene Expression Profiles of Ara h 2‐Specific B Cells in Desensitization and Tolerance During Peanut Oral Immunotherapy

Allergy, EarlyView.
Gene expression of Ara h 2‐specific B cells over the course of the peanut OIT. Isotype of allergen‐specific B cells changes through OIT towards IgG4. Peanut OIT changes the gene expression of allergen‐specific memory B cells. OIT patients showed increased gene expression for regulatory B cells and immune regulation.

Contribution of endosomal proteins EHD1 and EHD4 to the HIV‐1 replication cycle

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
EHD1 and EHD4, two key trafficking proteins, regulate multiple stages of HIV‐1 infection: In producer cells, they help produce fully infectious virus particles, regulate Envelope protein incorporation in a cell‐type‐dependent manner, and limit the accumulation of antiviral IFITM proteins in virions.
