Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have developed the first transgenic nonhuman primate model—genetically modified to carry a human gene—for studying hepatitis B virus.

A mutation switches the turbo on during virus replication. Even though hepatitis E causes over three million infections and about 70,000 deaths each year, the virus has been little studied as yet.

A model for hepatitis B virus-associated chronic liver disease has been made using cloned hepatitis B virus DNA as a transgene in a severe combined immunodeficient host. These mice consistently ...

Scientists create humanized mouse model for hepatitis C Date: June 8, 2011 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: A team of researchers has, for the first time, recreated a portion of the ...

Some 170 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis ... virus is usually transmitted by sharing intravenous drug needles and through sexual contact. Right now, there is no animal model ...

Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infects the liver and causes severe ... has developed a stem cell-based infection model for HDV and has used it to discover a possible target for an attack on the virus.

The mouse model should also be useful for studying the immunological reactions and viral clearance in hepatitis B virus infection, they note in the Journal of Virology. In this study, the ...
