Replication of duck hepatitis B virus in extrahepatic tissue such as pancreas, kidney and spleen has been well documented. To assess whether there is more widespread extrahepatic virus replication, we assayed brain, heart, lung, thymus, pancreas, kidney, spleen and intestine of 1-to 16-wk-old duckli

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
## Abstract The presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in extrahepatic tissues has been well documented. Whether HBV DNA can persist in extrahepatic tissues for long periods of time in the absence of replication in the liver has not been determined previously. Recently, two patients with endβstage
To evaluate the effect of hepatitis delta virus on the level of replication of hepatitis B virus and to assees the clinical significance that such an effect might have on the find oatcome of the infection, the serological profile of hepatitis B virus DNA was investigated in 153 patients with acute o
Aucubin, an iridoid glycoside was found to suppress hepatitis B virus DNA replication in vitro in a 2.2.15 cell culture system. Aucubin itself did not exhibit antiviral activity, but it showed significant activity when preincubated with β€-glucosidase. Aucubin possesses no cytotoxicity at a broad ran
