The kinetic characteristics have been studied for noncircularly permuted variants of the human hepatitis delta virus antigenomic ribozyme to find out the cause of the two-phase kinetics of the self-cleavage reaction. Different ways of... more
COS7 cells and other cell lines expressing the SV40 large T-antigen, have been of great benefit in transfection studies using transient expression vectors which contain the SV40 origin of replication, as these cells allow plasmid... more
Bangladesh is a densely populated country where about 10 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biochemical, virological and histological characteristics of... more
Metode Pengasapan untuk Mengatasi dan atau Bekerja Efektif membunuh Senjata Biologi Kuman Bakteri Virus Jamur, digunakan untuk membunuh dan atau memperlambat Penyebaran Kuman, Biological Weapon (Semisal: Senjata Biologi : Corona versi... more
The majority of patients with acute febrile jaundice (>95%) identified through a yellow fever surveillance program in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) test negative for antibodies against yellow fever virus. However, no... more
Chronic hepatitis B and D infections are major causes of liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Efficient therapeutic approaches for cure are absent. Sharing the same envelope proteins, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis... more
No specific therapy exists for hepatitis delta virus (HDV), which can cause severe liver disease. Molecular genetic studies have implicated the prenylation site of large delta antigen as a critical determinant of HDV particle assembly. We... more
The behaviour of the immune system during liver damage caused by chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection was evaluated by assessing, in 16 patients with HBsAg+ chronic liver disease and HDV superinfection (15 HbeAg−, 1 HBeAg+), ...
In this study, antibodies against blood-borne hepatitis viruses (Hepatitis B, C and D) were investigated by ELISA in 43 patients with chronic renal insufficiency, at Hemodialysis Unit of Ondokuz Mayis University, Faculty of Medicine. 32... more
Coinfection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with hepatitis D virus (HDV) has being reported to increase severity of progression to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver cirrhosis (LC). Beta microglobulin (2βM) which is present on the... more
Patients with dual hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis D (HDV) virus infection are at an increased risk of progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma than patients with a single viral infection. Treatment of viral hepatitis... more
Epidemiological data obtained to date show that the delta agent is spread all over the world. In Rumania hepatitis B virus infection is widespread and is associated with a high incidence of chronic liver disease. To determine the... more
Summary. Long-term changes in the frequency and outcome of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection have seldom been analysed. This retrospective, longitudinal study includes 398 consecutive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive... more
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection is associated with accelerated progression of fibrosis, early occurrence of hepatic decompensation and an increased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. Epidemiological data on hepatitis delta virus... more
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) superinfection of woodchuck chronic carriers of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) results in acute and chronic disease. The different courses of disease mimicked the outcome of human HDV superinfection, making... more
In vitro transcripts of bacteriophage RNA polymerases (RNAPs), such as T7 RNAP, often suffer from a considerable degree of 3′-end heterogeneity and, with certain promoter sequences, 5′-end heterogeneity. For some applications, this... more
Hepatitis B and D viruses (HBV and HDV) are human pathogens with restricted host ranges and high selectivity for hepatocytes; the HBV L-envelope protein interacts specifically with a receptor on these cells. We aimed to identify this... more
Liver diseases linked to Hepatitis B-Hepatitis Delta virus co- or superinfections are more severe than during HBV mono-infection. Diagnosis of HDV infection therefore remains crucial in monitoring patients, but is often overlooked. To... more
