| Core Tip |
The presently obtained data indicate that defi?ciency in the secretion capacity of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), but not virion, may have a pivotal function in occult infections of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype C, at least in occult infections in South Korea. This provided new insight into the intrinsic nature of HBV occult infections, which lead to HBsAg sero-negativeness but horizontal infectivity. In addition, reactive oxidative species production via possible induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress in hepatocytes provide a probable explanation for the links between occult infection and liver disease progression. |
