Sera of Individuals Chronically Infected with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Contain Diverse RNA Types Produced by HBV Replication or Derived from Integrated HBV DNA
6 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
The presence of integrant-derived RNAs (id-RNAs) and 5'-human-HBV-3' transcripts derived from integrated hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in sera was demonstrated for the first time. Thus, sera of individuals chronically infected with HBV contained both replication-derived and integrant-transcribed HBV RNAs. The majority of serum HBV RNAs were the transcripts produced by HBV genome replication, which were associated...
