A Genome-wide CRISPR Screen Identifies ZCCHC14 as a Host Factor Required for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Production
1 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
A hallmark of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection is the presence of high circulating levels of non-infectious small lipid HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) vesicles. Although rare, sustained HBsAg loss is the idealized endpoint of any CHB therapy. A small molecule, RG7834, has been previously reported to inhibit HBsAg expression by targeting terminal nucleotidyltransferase proteins 4A and 4B (TENT4A and TENT4B)....
