Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has a narrow host range, mainly infecting hominoids. A new study reveals the structural differences in the liver cell receptor (NTCP) between humans and monkeys, explaining why ...

An infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is spread by blood or bodily fluids, is one of the main causes of ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver diseases that spreads among individuals through blood ...

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals the structural basis for the restriction of hepatitis B virus (HBV) entry in macaques, ...

The figure shows how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is restricted by two sites on the macaque liver cell receptor NTCP. (a) Cryo-electron microscopic structure of macaque NTCP (cyan)-bile ...

A study reveals why monkeys resist HBV infection, showing that specific amino acid differences in their NTCP receptor prevent ...

Patients with chronic hepatitis B present a profound defect of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific T-cell immunity. Antiviral treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients suppresses HBV replication but ...
