Enrichment Reveals Extensive Integration of Hepatitis B Virus DNA in Hepatitis Delta Virus-Infected Patients
25 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA may become integrated into the human genome of infected human hepatocytes. Expression of integrations can produce the surface antigen (HBsAg) that is required for synthesis of hepatitis D virus (HDV) particles and the abundant subviral particles in the blood of HBV- and HDV-infected subjects. Knowledge about the extent and variation of HBV integrations and impact on chronic...
