The Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is one of the top ten leading causes of death in the world, and there is an estimated 400 million people chronically infected with HBV worldwide. The Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) is a co-infection that accompanies HBV and provides for a more severe disease outcome that those not co-infected. Advances in biological techniques and medical research have enabled investigators to elucidate the HBV and HDV life cycle that has led to a number of therapeutic...
More DescriptionThe Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is one of the top ten leading causes of death in the world, and there is an estimated 400 million people chronically infected with HBV worldwide. The Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) is a co-infection that accompanies HBV and provides for a more severe disease outcome that those not co-infected. Advances in biological techniques and medical research have enabled investigators to elucidate the HBV and HDV life cycle that has led to a number of therapeutic approaches for treating chronically infected patients. This book contains a collection of research techniques, divided into two volumes, that are used in the study of HBV and HDV. These detailed protocols will prove useful to scientists engaged in HBV and HDV research.
