Chronic hepatitis B: A critical appraisal of current approaches to therapy (2006)
Perrillo, Robert P., Gish, Robert G., Peters, Marion, Keeffe, Emmet B., Alberti, Alfredo, Buti, Maria, ...
Background & Aims: Treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) involves a number of complex and controversial issues. Expert opinions may differ from those of practicing hepatologists and...

Hepatitis B immunoglobulin is used for prophylaxis against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and is thought to act by neutralization of virions and hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg)-containing...
Hepatitis C Virus Persistence after Spontaneous or Treatment-Induced Resolution of Hepatitis C
Pham, Tram N. Q., MacParland, Sonya A., Mulrooney, Patricia M., Cooksley, Helen, Naoumov, Nikolai V., Michalak, Tomasz I.
It is presumed that resolution of hepatitis C, as evidenced by normalization of liver function tests and disappearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA from serum, as determined by conventional...

The genetic diversity of hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains has evolved through mutations such as point mutations, deletions or insertions, and recombination. We identified and characterized a novel...

Protection of Hepatocytes from Cytotoxic T Cell Mediated Killing by Interferon-Alpha
Willberg, Christian B., Ward, Scott M., Clayton, Reginald F., Naoumov, Nikolai V., McCormick, Christopher, Proto, Sandra, ...
Maini, Mala K., Boni, Carolina, Lee, Chun Kyon, Larrubia, Juan R., Reignat, Stephanie, Ogg, Graham S., ...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a noncytopathic virus, and the recognition of infected hepatocytes by HBV-specific CD8 cells has been assumed to be the central mechanism causing both liver damage and...

Weak T-cell reactivity to hepatitis B virus (HBV) is thought to be the dominant cause for chronic HBV infection. Treatment with adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) increases the rate of HBV e antigen (HBeAg)...
