Parameters of Human Hepatitis Delta Virus Genome Replication: the Quantity, Quality, and Intracellular Distribution of Viral Proteins and RNA

15 Apr 2002

Abstract excerpt

Assembly of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) in infected human hepatocytes involves association of the 1,679- nucleotide single-stranded genomic RNA (deltaRNA) with multiple copies of both small and large forms of the delta protein (deltaAg) to form a ribonucleoprotein particle which in turn interacts with envelope proteins of the natural helper virus, hepatitis B virus. Subsequently, for initiation of a new round of...
