Application Notes (Clone): Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) infections represent the most severe form of viral hepatitis with about 20 million infected individuals worldwide. HDV is a satellite virus of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), which means that all patients chronically infected with HDV are always co-infected with HBV. There are 8 different HDV genotypes described worldwide. The HDV genome encodes for only one protein: the Hepatitis Delta Antigen (HDAg) which is recognized by this antibody and can be detected in Western blots and immunofluorescence.
