Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) has been reported to counteract the innate immune responses through interfering with the pattern recognition receptors signaling activated by retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). Here, we showed that, compared to the HBx derived from genotype (gt) A, C and D, HBx of gtB exhibited more potent inhibitory activity on the...
