Hepatitis C is a viral disease that attacks and damages the liver. It is often transmitted through sexual contact or the sharing of needles. Until recently, there was no cure or vaccine for the disease.Answer and Explanation: There is no set viral load that is considered dangerous for ...
months, your doctor will order a test called a qualitative nucleic acid test (NAT) to look for the virus currently in your blood. This measures the number of viral RNA (genetic material from the hepatitis virus) particles in your blood. They usually show up 1-2 weeks after you’re ...

The mechanisms of liver injury in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are defined to be due not to the direct cytopathic effects of viruses, but to the host immune response to viral proteins expressed by infected hepatocytes. We showed here that transfection of mammalian cells with a replicative ...

(1994) reported the functional roles of active site residues on sialidases of bacterial/viral origin on the basis of the structures of their complexes with inhibitors (Burmeister et al. 1992; Crennell et al. 1993, 1994; Gaskell et al. 1995). They suggested that the active site arginine ...

Biofilms provide an environment that protects microorganisms from external stresses such as nutrient deprivation, antibiotic treatments, and immune defences, thereby creating favorable conditions for bacterial survival and pathogenesis. Here we show that
