1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection of individuals infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is associated with more severe liver damage and an increased risk of fulminant disease. HDV is a single-stranded RNA virus that encodes a single protein, the delta antigen, which is expressed in two forms, small (S-HDAg) and large (L-HDAg). Here we show that although HDV ribonucleoproteins are mainly detected in the...
