It is crucial for clinicians to understand the need to screen for hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc status), proper interpretation of HBV biomarkers, and

In order to demonstrate that the conjugation of GFP to the tandem core particles necessitates the interaction of SpyTag with SpyCatcher, GFP-ST or GFP-SC were co-expressed with unconjugated tandem core (tHBcAg) or tandem core conjugated to the same binding partner as the GFP moiety. Total sol...

Overall, seven tested positive for HCV-antibodies, and two were also positive for HCV core antigen and HCV-RNA–these two were immigrants, one from a country where HCV is endemic. None of the seven were aware of their infection. The seroprevalence of hepatitis C am...
Lbx-1 samples were non-reactive (Figure 1b). Hepadnavirus–host genome integration after de novo infection Meticulous analysis of the virus–host junctions was performed. The coordinates of virus integrants and the right-side flanking host sequences, HBV inoculum used, and the time at which ...
Hepatitis B virus has infected a third of the world’s population, and 296 million people are living with chronic infection. Chronic infection leads to progressive liver disease, including hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure, and there remains no
