Hepatitis B virus infection

TL;DR: This Primer addresses several aspects of HBV infection, including epidemiology, immune pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention and management, including antiviral agents that directly act on viral replication and immunomodulators, such as interferon therapy.

Update of the statements on biology and clinical impact of occult hepatitis B virus infection

TL;DR: The objectives of the workshop were to review the existing knowledge on OBI, to identify issues that require further investigation, to highlight both the existing controversial and newly emerging aspects, and ultimately to update the statements previously agreed in 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis B Virus: Advances in Prevention, Diagnosis, and Therapy.

TL;DR: A global approach is taken by using the findings of global experts on HBV as well as citing major guidelines and their various approaches to addressing HBV and its disease burden to provide a more relevant document to regions worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating and intrahepatic antiviral B cells are defective in hepatitis B

TL;DR: It was found that HBsAg-specific B cells persisted in the blood and liver of many patients with CHB and were enriched for T-bet, a signature of antiviral potential in B cells, however, purified, differentiated HBs Ag- specific B cells from patients withCHB had defective antibody production, consistent with undetectable anti-HBs antibodies in vivo.

Chronic hepatitis B: Update 2009

TL;DR: The 2009 update of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Practice Guidelines for Management of Chronic Hepatitis B is now posted online at www.aasld.org, and the recommendation for first-line oral antiviral medications has been changed to tenofovir or entecavir, and adefovir has been moved to second-line Oral antiviral medication.

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide is a functional receptor for human hepatitis B and D virus

TL;DR: It is shown that the receptor-binding region of pre-S1 specifically interacts with sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), a multiple transmembrane transporter predominantly expressed in the liver that is a functional receptor for HBV and HDV.
