Genome Replication, Virion Secretion, and e Antigen Expression of Naturally Occurring Hepatitis B Virus Core Promoter Mutants

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the biological properties of naturally occurring core promoter mutants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) by PCR from sera of HBeAg(+) individuals infected with genotype A. The double core promoter mutations were found to moderately enhance viral genome replication and reduce hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of 1 or 3 MU of interferon alfa-2b and placebo in patients with chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that 3 MU of interferon is a more effective dose than 1 MU for controlling disease activity in non-A, non-B chronic hepatitis patients and women and younger and noncirrhotic patients are more likely to respond.
Journal ArticleDOI

Management of antiviral resistance in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

TL;DR: Treating physicians are provided with a framework for the management of chronic hepatitis B in the context of antiviral resistance to aid monitoring and early diagnosis of drug resistance before disease progression occurs as a consequence of viral breakthrough.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reverse transcription in hepatitis B viruses is primed by a tyrosine residue of the polymerase.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a tyrosine residue of the polymerase polypeptide is the site of a phosphodiester linkage with the first nucleotide of minus-strand DNA that is indispensable for the priming of reverse transcription.
