Hepatitis B virus replication within the human spleen

Year: 1990

Type: article

Abstract: Southern blot analysis of splenic DNA from three patients with chronic hepatitis B revealed the presence of replicative intermediate forms of viral DNA. Hepatitis B viral RNA was detected in splenic RNA from two cases. Thus, hepatitis B virus appears to replicate in the human spleen, although at a lower level than in the liver.
