Hepatitis D virus

Fold this section Table of Contents
Fold this section I. General Information
1. NCBI Taxonomy ID:
12475
2. Introduction
HDV is found only in people who have Hepatitis B virus. It may make symptoms of hepatitis B worse or may cause symptoms in people who carry hepatitis B virus but have never displayed symptoms (A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia).
3. Host Ranges and Animal Models
Humans (A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia)

III. Vaccine Information
1. Hepatitis D DNA vaccine pcDNA3p27/Ad5F35p27
a. Vaccine Ontology ID:
VO_0004529
b. Type:
DNA vaccine
c. Status:
Research
d. Host Species as Laboratory Animal Model:
Woodchucks
e. Gene Engineering of p27
  • Type: DNA vaccine construction
  • Description:
  • Detailed Gene Information: Click here.
f. Vector:
pcDNA3 prime, Ad5/Ad5F35-vector boost (Fiedler et al., 2013)
g. Immunization Route
Intramuscular injection (i.m.)
h. Woodchuck Response
  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Efficacy: Immunization with DNA plasmid prime administered via gene gun and Ad5/Ad5F35-vector boost expressing HDAg conferred protection from HDV in WHV/HDV co-infection in 5 out of 7 immunized animals. The two animals with the breakthrough had a shorter HDV viremia as compared to the un-vaccinated controls (Fiedler et al., 2013)
