10 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Human hepatitis delta virus (HDV) causes the most severe form of viral hepatitis. Approximately 15-25 million people are chronically infected with HDV. As a satellite virus of the human hepatitis B virus (HBV), HDV uses the HBV-encoded envelope proteins for egress from and de novo entry into hepatocytes. So far, in vitro production of HDV particles is restricted to co-transfection of cells with HDV/HBV encoding...
