Augmented epigenetic repression of hepatitis B virus covalently closed circular DNA by interferon-α and small-interfering RNA synergy

ABSTRACT The persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is a key obstacle for HBV cure. This study aims to comprehensively assess the effect of interferon (IFN) and small-interfering RNA (siRNA) combination on the cccDNA minichromosome. Utilizing both cell and mou...
