  2. Hepatitis B virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_B_virus

    HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) was the first hepatitis B virus protein to be discovered. [15] It consists of small (S), medium (M) and large (L) protein. [16] HBcAg (hepatitis B core antigen) is the main structural protein of HBV icosahedral nucleocapsid and it has function in replication of the virus. [17]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_B

    820,000 resulting from hepatitis B (2019) [ 1 ] Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) that affects the liver; [ 1 ][ 6 ] it is a type of viral hepatitis. [ 7 ] It can cause both acute and chronic infection. [ 1 ] Many people have no symptoms during an initial infection. For others, symptoms may appear 30 to ...

  4. HBeAg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBeAg

    HBeAg is a hepatitis B viral protein, produced by the HBcAg reading frame. It is an indicator of active viral replication; this means the person infected with Hepatitis B can likely transmit the virus on to another person (i.e. the person is infectious). HBeAg is considered a marker for cccDNA replication. [1]

  5. Hepadnaviridae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepadnaviridae

    Hepadnaviridae[a] is a family of viruses. [2] Humans, apes, and birds serve as natural hosts. There are currently 18 species in this family, divided among 5 genera. [3] Its best-known member is hepatitis B virus. Diseases associated with this family include: liver infections, such as hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinomas (chronic infections ...

  6. Hepatitis B virus DNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_B_virus_DNA...

    The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase is a multifunctional enzyme, with both RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase functions, as well as an RNase H function. It acts on the HBV pre-genomic RNA (pgRNA) to reverse transcribe it to form a new rcDNA molecule within a new capsid. (The pgRNA has another function of being translated into the ...

  7. Reverse transcriptase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_transcriptase

    A reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme used to convert RNA genome to DNA, a process termed reverse transcription.Reverse transcriptases are used by viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B to replicate their genomes, by retrotransposon mobile genetic elements to proliferate within the host genome, and by eukaryotic cells to extend the telomeres at the ends of their linear chromosomes.

    HBcAg (core antigen) is a hepatitis B viral protein. [1] [2] It is an indicator of active viral replication; this means the person infected with Hepatitis B can likely transmit the virus on to another person (i.e. the person is infectious).

  9. Transmission of hepadnaviruses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_of_hepadnaviruses

    Transmission of hepadnaviruses. The transmission of hepadnaviruses between their natural hosts, humans, non-human primates, and birds, including intra-species host transmission and cross-species transmission, is a topic of study in virology. Hepadnaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause liver infections in humans and animals.
