β¦ Synopsis
Research has been carried out in order to clarify the chemical nature of cell receptors interacting with a fast growing strain of hepatitis A virus (HAV) producing a cytopathic effect on Frp/3 cells. Cell surface susceptibility to HAV attachment has been studied after treatment with enzymes acting on different chemical groupings. Results obtained showed a lowering of cell susceptibility to HAV infection following the action of phospholipase A2, phospholipase C, trypsin and/3-galactosidase. These data suggested that phospholipids, proteins and galactose participate to the cellular receptorial area for HAV.

The pathogenicity of a virus for the liver is generally related to its capacity for multiplying within the hepatic cells. Cellular damage may result either directly from replication of virus particles or indirectly from the action of immunological factors in response to the appearance of viral antig
Current guidelines for treatment of chronic hepatitis B include hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) status, levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values in the setting of either chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. Based on findings from a prospective study of hepatiti
