Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a defective virus requiring the hepatitis B virus (HBV) to provide hepatitis B surface antigens as the envelope protein. The hepatitis B surface antigens are posttranslationally modified by N-linked glycosylation, and its significance in HDV assembly was investigate...
