Determination of Hepatitis Delta Virus Genotype among HBV Carriers in Southwest of Iran
Background and Aims: HDV is a defective satellite virus and classified in genus Deltavirus. Its disease is related and limited to HBV-infected patients. Acute infection of delta agent occurs in two different patterns simultaneous infection with both HBV & HDV or super infection of chronically HBV infected patients that lead to more sever type of hepatitis. According to genetic diversity of geno...
متن کاملMolecular detection of hepatitis delta virus in blood donors with RT-PCR
Abstract Background and Objective: Hepatitis delta virus is an imperfect virus with RNA and its activity depends on the presence of hepatitis B virus. This virus can lead to acute and chronic diseases in the liver. This study aimed to detect the hepatitis delta virus in blood donors with positive Hepatitis B Surface Antigens (HBsAg). Material and Methods: In this Study, 350 serum sa...
متن کاملStandardized one-step real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay for universal detection and quantification of hepatitis delta virus from clinical samples in the presence of a heterologous internal-control RNA.
As for other chronic viral diseases, quantification of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) loads may be useful for patient management. We describe a one-step quantitative reverse transcription-PCR assay that is reliable and automatable and meets the regulatory authorities' standards for accurate quantification of the major HDV genotypes. It includes an internal control and uses in vitro-transcribed RNA...
متن کاملDetection and Genotyping of Hepatitis D Virus from HBsAg Positive Patients in Iran Using RT-PCR
Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) is a degenerate RNA virus or virusoid and a satellite of Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Three distinct genotypes are described for HDV; genotype I is distributed worldwide but other genotypes appear to be more restricted geographically. In the present study, an RT-nested PCR method was set up to detect delta infection from serum samples. Moreover, the target amplified sequ...
متن کاملReconstitution in cultured cells of replicating HDV RNA from pairs of less than full-length RNAs.
The genome of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a small single-stranded circular RNA that is replicated via RNA-directed RNA synthesis. This makes use of a host RNA polymerase, probably pol II, that normally transcribes DNA templates. In vivo, the host polymerase can initiate replication from transfected linear RNAs using intramolecular template-switching. The present studies report that the polym...
