Preliminary Evidence for Hepatitis Delta Virus Exposure in Patients Who Are Apparently Not Infected With Hepatitis B Virus

Over a 6-month period in 2007/08 all samples from a blood bank in Alexandria, Egypt (n = 3420) were tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-hepatitis C virus

Two schedule options can be used to prevent perinatal HBV infections: a 3-dose schedule of monovalent HepB vaccine, with the 1 st dose given at birth and the 2 nd and 3 rd

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of occult HBV infection among Egyptian chronic HCV patients, the genotype and occurrence of surface gene mutations of HBV and the

Interestingly, the 113 overexpression of human NTCP in permissive hepatoma cells such as Huh7 and HepG2 114 cells that lack endogenous expression of NTCP, conferred

Mechanistically, their study suggests that the SCY995 molecule may target an alternative site of NTCP (putatively overlapping with the bile acid pocket site) compared to native

Antibodies produced in small-animal models in response to immunization with chimeric HBV-HCV subviral particles bearing the full-length HCV genotype 1a envelope E2

Migration analysis showed a gene flow from zone 3 (rural) to zone 2 (suburban) and a greater gene flow from the middle part of Madagascar to the north than to the south.. It

In order to better understand the balance between replication and the immune response against hepatitis B virus (HBV), the viral kinetics in 50 HBeAg-negative
