the biology and genetic variation of hepatitis b virus
800x600 hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is the main cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). several factors such as serum hbv dna level, genotype and specific viral mutations have been clarified to determine disease progression of chronic hepatitis b. among these, mutations can also occur in chronic hbv patients with antiviral treatment such as lamivudine the...
متن کاملNovel Genetic Variants of Hepatitis B Virus in Fulminant Hepatitis
Fulminant hepatitis (FH) is a life-threatening liver disease characterised by intense immune attack and massive liver cell death. The common precore stop codon mutation of hepatitis B virus (HBV), A1896, is frequently associated with FH, but lacks specificity. This study attempts to uncover all possible viral nucleotides that are specifically associated with FH through a compiled sequence analy...
متن کاملInsights into structural variations and genome rearrangements in prokaryotic genomes
Structural variations (SVs) are genomic rearrangements that affect fairly large fragments of DNA. Most of the SVs such as inversions, deletions and translocations have been largely studied in context of genetic diseases in eukaryotes. However, recent studies demonstrate that genome rearrangements can also have profound impact on prokaryotic genomes, leading to altered cell phenotype. In contras...
متن کاملTree squirrel hepatitis B virus: antigenic and structural characterization.
Tree squirrel hepatitis B virus (THBV)-associated particles isolated from the livers of naturally infected animals share one or more antigenic determinants with hepatitis B surface antigen in solid-phase immunoassays. Characterization of THBV-associated polypeptides by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reproducibly demonstrated major components with apparent sizes of 15....
متن کاملGenetic analysis of murine hepatitis virus non-structural protein 16.
MHV-Wüts18 is an RNA-negative, temperature-sensitive mutant of mouse coronavirus, strain murine hepatitis virus (MHV)-A59. We have previously identified the putative causal mutation of MHV-Wüts18 as a C to U transition at codon 2446 in ORF1b, which results in a substitution of proline 12 with serine in non-structural protein 16. Here, we have used a vaccinia virus-based reverse genetic system t...
