Biochem/physiol Actions

Entecavir is an antiviral guanine analog that inhibits reverse transcription, DNA replication and transcription in the viral replication process. Entecavir is used to treat hepatitis B.
Entecavir is used as an effective drug to treat lamivudine-refractory patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) at a dose of 1 mg daily.

Viruses exploit host factors and environment for their efficient replication. The virus-host interaction mechanisms for achieving an optimal hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication have been largely unknown. Here, a single cell cloning revealed that HepAD38 cells, a widely-used HBV-inducible cell

The complicated replication mechanisms of hepatitis B virus (HBV) have impeded HBV studies and anti-HBV therapy development as well. Herein we report efficient genome replication of HBV applying adenovirus vectors (AdVs) showing high transduction efficiency. Even in primary hepatocytes derived
