Journal ArticleDOI

Exosomes mediate the cell-to-cell transmission of IFN-α-induced antiviral activity

TL;DR: An antiviral mechanism of IFN-α activity that involves the induction and intercellular transfer of antiviral molecules via exosomes is proposed and contributed to the antiviral response of IFn-α to mouse hepatitis virus A59 and adenovirus in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viperin inhibits hepatitis C virus replication by interfering with binding of NS5A to host protein hVAP-33.

TL;DR: It is found that overexpression of viperin could inhibit HCV replication in a dose-dependent manner in both the replicon and HCVcc systems and binding to host protein hVAP-33 and interfering with its interaction with NS5A is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of contrasting features between hepatitis B virus genotype A and genotype D in small envelope protein expression and surface antigen secretion

TL;DR: It is shown that HBV genotypes A and D differ in S protein expression, secretion and modulation by L protein, and that the S protein of genotype D was more efficient at secretion, while its L protein possessed greater inhibitory effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional characterization of hepatitis B virus core promoter mutants revealed transcriptional interference among co-terminal viral mRNAs.

TL;DR: Pregenomic RNA of the related duck HBV has been reported to interfere with transcription of the subgenomic RNAs, which might explain why HBV produces so little 0.7 kb RNA and HBx protein despite a strong X promoter.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Envelope Gene of Hepatitis B Virus Is Implicated in Both Differential Virion Secretion and Genome Replication Capacities between Genotype B and Genotype C Isolates

TL;DR: Surprisingly, exchanging the entire envelope gene or just its S region could enhance virion secretion by genotype B clones while diminishing virions secretion by Genotype C clones, although the underlying mechanism remains to be clarified.
