RESUMO
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a cause of acute and chronic liver disease for which no effective therapy is currently available. Previous research has demonstrated that prenylation of the large HDV antigen is essential for viral assembly. A new report describes a novel small animal model for HDV replication and demonstrates that prenylation inhibitors are highly effective at clearing viremia and thus have potential relevance for the treatment of chronic delta hepatitis.
