Hepatitis B Virus

As per available reports about 75 journals, 36 Conferences, 18 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Hepatitis B virus and about 167582 articles are being published on the current trends in Hepatitis B virus. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to industry management are being carried out. As reported in Molecular Epidemiological Study of Hepatitis B Virus in the United Arab Emirates Based on the Analysis of Pre-S Gene, 1st edition, Hepatitis B virus is a small, enveloped 3.2 kb DNA virus with four Open Reading Frames. HBV envelope proteins are encoded by three overlapping envelope genes contained within a single ORF: pre-S1, pre-S2, and S. Depending on the translated initiation site among S, pre-S2, or pre-S1, three different sized proteins are produced: a small hepatitis B surface protein (small HBs) containing 226 amino acid residues; a middle hepatitis B surface protein (middle HBs) containing 55 additional amino acid residues; and a large hepatitis B surface protein (large HBs) containing 108 or 119 additional amino acid residues, depending on the serotype. The pre-S region mediates hepatocyte attachment of the virus (amino acids 21 to 47 in pre-S1), contains B-cell and T-cell epitopes and a binding site for neutralising anti pre-S2 antibody (amino acids 120 to 145) and has an S promoter for controlling the production of middle HBs and small HBs.

The Journal of Liver is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in hepatitis B virus. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. Journal of Liver provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Hepatitis B virus, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

 Journal of Liver is associated with our conference "2nd Hepatology Conference", May 09-11, 2016, Chicago, USA and "Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology Conference", Oct 03-05, 2016, Toronto, Canada

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences which organizes scientific conferences on Clinical Sciences, Engineering & Applied Sciences, Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, Omics & Management and Pharmaceutical/Chemistry and it is a perfect platform for global networking. 4th International Conference on Gastroenterology & Urology (Gastroenterology-2015) during May 04-06, 2015 Baltimore, USA. Gastroenterology-2015mainly aims to create a unique platform to bring experts and researchers in Gastroenterology, Hepatitis A & urology around the world, where they discuss the current research, achievements and advancements in the field.
