Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a sub-viral agent that is dependent for its life cycle on hepatitis
B virus (HBV). The help it obtains from HBV is limited to the sharing of envelope proteins …

Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection involves a distinct subgroup of individuals simultaneously
infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and characterized by an often severe chronic liver …

Previous studies have indicated that the replication of the RNA genome of hepatitis delta
virus (HDV) involves redirection of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a host enzyme that normally …

Structure and replication of hepatitis delta virus RNA Page 28 CHAPTER 3 Structure and
Replication of Hepatitis Delta Virus RNA John M. Taylor* Abstract This review focuses on the …

Assembly of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) in infected human hepatocytes involves association
of the 1,679-nucleotide single-stranded genomic RNA (δRNA) with multiple copies of both …

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is the smallest known human virus and causes the most severe
form of human viral hepatitis, yet it is still not fully understood how the virus replicates and …

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is unique relative to all known animal viruses, especially in terms
of its ability to redirect host RNA polymerase (s) to transcribe its 1,679-nucleotide (nt) circular …

The evolutionary origin of human hepatitis delta virus (HDV) replication by RNA-directed
transcription is unclear. Here we identify two species of 5′-capped,∼ 18–25-nucleotide …

In a natural setting, hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is only found in patients that are also infected
with hepatitis B virus (HBV). In hepatocytes infected with these two viruses, HDV RNA …

As early as 5 days after DNA copies of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) genome or even in
vitro-transcribed HDV RNA sequences were injected into the mouse tail vein using the …
