Quantification of the hepatitis B virus cccDNA: evidence-based guidelines for monitoring the key obstacle of HBV cure

Lena Allweiss et al.

Summary: A major goal of hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatments is to reduce or inactivate intrahepatic viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). There are different methods for cccDNA quantification, such as Southern blot (SB) and quantitative PCR (qPCR). This study compared various protocols for cccDNA isolation and qPCR quantification in liver tissues and cell cultures, aiming to develop evidence-based guidance for best practices.

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing of hepatitis B virus in chronically infected humanized mice

Daniel Stone et al.

Summary: The study utilized AAV and CRISPR-SaCas9 for gene editing therapy in liver-humanized FRG mice chronically infected with HBV, showing improved treatment efficacy by enhancing gene editing levels, which significantly impacted HBV infection.

Optimization of AAV vectors to target persistent viral reservoirs

Rossana Colon-Thillet et al.

Summary: Gene delivery of antiviral therapeutics using recombinant adeno-associated viruses (AAV) has shown promise in targeting viral reservoirs responsible for persistent infections. Research has focused on identifying AAV vectors with diverse tropisms and improving transduction efficiency through molecular genetic methods and capsid engineering. Extensive efforts have been made to optimize AAV capsids for improved gene therapy applications, with some novel capsids currently under evaluation in pre-clinical and clinical trials.
