Hepatitis Delta Virus Diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Liver Disease, 2012
The first step in the diagnosis of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection is testing HBsAg-positive individuals for the antibody to the HD antigen (anti-HD).In anti-HD-positive patients, the next step is testing for HDV RNA in serum to determine whether the antibody reflects an ongoing active HDV infection (HDV-RNA-positive) or represents a serologic ...

Hepatitis Delta Virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a subviral agent that utilizes the envelope proteins of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) for cell to cell propagation. In infected human hepatocytes, the HDV RNA genome can replicate and associate with multiple copies of the delta protein to assemble a ribonucleoprotein (RNP).

Broad-spectrum activity of bulevirtide against clinical isolates of HDV and recombinant pan-genotypic combinations of HBV/HDV

open access: yesJHEP Reports, 2023
Background & Aims: Bulevirtide (BLV) is a small lipopeptide agent that specifically binds to the sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) bile salt transporter and HBV/HDV receptor on the surface of human hepatocytes and inhibits HDV and

A review on hepatitis D: From virology to new therapies

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research, 2019
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a defective virus that requires the hepatitis B virus (HBV) to complete its life cycle in human hepatocytes. HDV virions contain an envelope incorporating HBV surface antigen protein and a ribonucleoprotein containing the ...

Evidence of viral adaptation to HLA class I-restricted immune pressure in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Cellular immune responses are an important correlate of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection outcome. These responses are governed by the host's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type, and HLA-restricted viral escape mutants are a critical aspect of this host ...

A Case Report of Hepatocellular Carcinoma 5 Years After HBsAg Loss in Chronic Hepatitis Delta: How Long Surveillance is Required?

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2017
Background: Hepatitis delta virus infection occurs as acute coinfection or as superinfection in patients with preexisting chronic hepatitis B. Chronic hepatitis delta leads to more severe disease than chronic hepatitis B, with more rapid progression of ...
