Itinerary of Hepatitis B Viruses: Delineation of Restriction Points Critical for Infectious Entry

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about cellular determinants essential for human hepatitis B virus infection. Using the duck hepatitis B virus as a model, we first established a sensitive binding assay for both virions and subviral particles and subsequently elucidated the characteristics of the early viral entry steps. The infection itinerary was found to initiate with the attachment of viral particles to a low number of binding...
