The patient was investigated thoroughly and found to have evidence of chronic hepatitis B-virus (HBV) infection by serological tests and liver biopsy. Other conditions associated with HPS such as lymphoma, malignancy and other viral or bacterial infections were not present. The patient did not ...
Until 1973, type A hepatitis could be diagnosed clinically only where epidemiological evidence implicated a contagious condition acquired in circumstances in which faecal/oral transmission was possible, and in which there was no evidence of infection by hepatitis type B or other known viral cause of...
Bacterial perturbation of cytokine networks. From the preceding discussion it is obvious that bacteria have evolved a number of means of inducing and manipulating host cytokine networks. Some mechanis... M Wilson,R Seymour,B Henderson - 《Infection & Immunity》 被引量: 411发表: 1998年 SARS coron...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a small DNA virus from the family of Hepadnaviridae approximately 42 nm in size, is composed of a lipid envelope and a capsid that contains the viral circular DNA genome (3-3.3 kb) and a DNA polymerase. The core protein of the virus is HBcAg and is coded by...

Expression of Viral Antigen by the Liver Leads to Chronic Infection Through the Generation of Regulatory T Cells Background & Aims The constant exposure of the liver to food and bacterial antigens through the mesenteric circulation requires it to maintain tolerance wh... P Lapierre,V Janelle,MP ...
viral DNA insertions where the paired-end mapping data shows a classical pattern, characterised by two reciprocal – face-to-face oriented – read clusters delimiting the integration site, and whose mates support the presence of viral DNA (Fig.1b). This result is consistent with an alternative ...
It was shown for many viruses that whole viral DNA, RNA, or cDNA of viral RNA when transfected into cells could undergo a full cycle viral replication. In principle, the technique is relatively simple; most notably, it eliminates the step of using an infectious viral orbacterial vector, or ...
Quorum sensing signaling molecules are known to be critical determinants in bacterial pathogenesis. Here the authors show the quorum sensing molecule cFP fromVibrio vulnificusinhibits the RIG-I mediated antiviral interferon response and enhances susceptibility to viral infection. ...
