The hepatitis D virus (HDV) relies on the helper hepatitis B virus (HBV) for the provision of its envelope, which consists of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The RNA genome of HDV is a circular rod-like structure due to its extensive intramolecular base-pairing. HDV-RNA has ribozyme activity wh

Hepatitis D virus and hepatitis B virus nucleic acids were detected by Northern and Southern blot hybridization in the sera and livers of 86 chronic carriers of HBsAg and anti-hepatitis D followed up for a mean of 10 yr. We identified three subsets of patients 13 with hepatitis D virus and hepatitis
Hepatitis B virus DNA and hepatitis D virus RNA, the most sensitive markers of hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus replication, were sought by molecular hybridization with radioactive probes in serial serum samples from 29 consecutive patients with HBsAg-positive fulminant hepatitis. Nineteen patients
