Snake Kolmiovirus Encodes a Single Form of Delta Antigen and Shows No Evidence of Translation from Open Reading Frame 2

2026-04-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a satellite virus that utilizes hepatitis B virus (HBV) as a helper for infectious particle formation. HDV was originally identified as a novel antigen in liver biopsies of HBV patients, and later studies showed the “delta” antigen (DAg) to be the sole protein encoded by HDV. Until the discovery of HDV-like agents in birds and snakes in 2018, HDV was a unique example o...
