TL;DR: In cases of chronic hepatitis, no correlation was observed between the serum TTV DNA titres and the ALT levels, and in 2 patients who were treated with interferon, the changes in TTV titres were not synchronized with those of theALT levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The transmission of HCV between IDUs was demonstrated, and this indicates that phylogenetic analysis would applicable to also forensic analysis, thus multiple transmission route of HCv among IDUs seems be exist in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Easy-to-use phylogenetic analysis system for hepatitis B virus infection

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analysis tool was developed for the easy determination of genotypes and transmission route and the appropriate settings and application of calculation parameters are difficult for non‐specialists of molecular genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of infectious hepatitis C virus from liver-derived cell lines.
Daisuke Akazawa,Tomoko Date,Kenichi Morikawa,Asako Murayama,Noriaki Omi,Noriaki Omi,Hitoshi Takahashi,Hitoshi Takahashi,Noriko Nakamura,Koji Ishii,Tetsuro Suzuki,Masashi Mizokami,Hidenori Mochizuki,Takaji Wakita +13 more
TL;DR: The efficient production of infectious HCV from the JFH-1 strain is restricted to the Huh7 cell line and its derivatives, but the virus particles produced from the different cell lines may have different characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negative regulation of hepatitis B virus replication by forkhead box protein A in human hepatoma cells.

TL;DR: It is found that FOXA members are directly and indirectly involved in HBV replication in human hepatic cells and FoxA1 and FOXA2 suppressed nuclear hormone receptors, such as HNF4α, that are related toHBV replication.
