HEPATITIS B VIRUS SUPPRESSES COMPLEMENT C9 SYNTHESIS BY LIMITING THE AVAILABILITY OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR USF-1 AND INHIBITS FORMATION OF MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX: IMPLICATIONS IN DISEASE PATHOGENESIS

Abstract Background The complement system functions primarily as a first-line host defense against invading microbes, including viruses.However, the interaction of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) with the complement-components during chronic HBV infection remains largely unknown.We investigated the mechanism by which HBV inhibits the formation of cytolytic

Rabies virus (RABV) is the only lyssavirus known to be present within the Caribbean.The island of Trinidad, is richly diverse in chiropteran fauna and endemic for bat-transmitted rabies with low RABV isolation rates observed in this population.We aimed to determine the seroprevalence of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNA) in light of spatio
