Synthetic gRNA/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein targeting HBV DNA inhibits viral replication
1 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
The presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular (ccc) DNA (cccDNA), which serves as a template for viral replication and integration of HBV DNA into the host cell genome, sustains liver pathogenesis and constitutes an intractable barrier to the eradication of chronic HBV infection.
