Molecular biologic and pathogenetic analysis of hepatitis delta virus

M M Lai. J Hepatol. 1995.

Abstract

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) consists of an envelope derived from hepatitis B virus (HBV) and a nucleocapsid consisting of hepatitis delta antigen and a circular RNA genome. Both the delta antigen and the RNA possess many unique properties which play crucial roles in the life cycle of HDV. They may also contribute indirectly to the mechanism of viral pathogenesis.
