Introduction: Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a 35 nm in diameter agent that depends on hepatitis B surface antigen in order to proliferate and accumulate. Infection with delta agent can occur spontaneously with hepatitis B virus infection and it cause acute ...

Changing perspectives on liver transplantation in 1988. [PDF]
After liver transplantation for cancer, there is a high incidence of disease recurrence within 18 to 36 months for most tumors, although there are a small number of long-term survivors.

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.

Nationwide implementation of double reflex testing for hepatitis delta in Spain markedly increased anti‐HDV and HDV viral load testing between 2022 and 2024, enabling national seroprevalence estimates. Despite this progress, substantial regional heterogeneity persists, highlighting the need for standardised reflex diagnostic protocols.

Unbalanced Immune System: Immunodeficiencies and Autoimmunity [PDF]
Increased risk of developing autoimmune manifestations has been identified in different primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs). In such conditions, autoimmunity and immune deficiency represent intertwined phenomena that reflect inadequate immune function ...

The Nucleolar Phosphoprotein B23 Interacts with Hepatitis Delta Antigens and Modulates the Hepatitis Delta Virus RNA Replication [PDF]
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) encodes two isoforms of delta antigens (HDAgs). The small form of HDAg is required for HDV RNA replication, while the large form of HDAg inhibits the viral replication and is required for virion assembly. In this study, we found that the expression of B23, a nucleolar phosphoprotein involved in disparate functions including ...

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...

Characterization of RNA-binding domains of hepatitis delta antigen
Hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg), the only protein encoded by the hepatitis delta virus (HDV), binds specifically genomic and antigenomic strands of the HDV RNA. In a previous study, three recombinant HDAg subdomains were synthesized, covering residues 11 to 78, 79 to 163 and 164 to 212, and only the middle domain was shown to be responsible for the ...

Subcellular distribution of large and small hepatitis delta antigen in hepatocytes of hepatitis delta virus superinfected woodchucks [PDF]
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) encodes only a single protein, the hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg), which is expressed as two molecular forms (large and small) with different functions in viral replication. Compared with small antigen, large antigen has a 19 residue carboxyl terminal extension.

ABSTRACT The optimal strategy for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected patients with negative hepatitis B e‐antigen (HBeAg) and normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) treatment in this patient population.
