Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Levels and Sequences of Natural Hepatitis B Virus Variants Influence the Assembly and Secretion of Hepatitis D Virus
20 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Various domains of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are essential for the assembly and secretion of hepatitis D virus (HDV). This study investigated the influences of the levels and sequences of HBsAg of naturally occurring HBV variants on the assembly and secretion of HDV. Six hepatitis B virus (HBV)-producing plasmids (three genotype B and three genotype C) and six HBsAg expression plasmids that expressed...
