Summary

Automatically generated

We present a protocol to screen anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) compounds targeting pre- and post-viral entry lifecycle stages, using isothermal titration calorimetry to measure binding affinity (KD) with host sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide. Antiviral efficacy was determined through the suppression of viral lifecycle markers (cccDNA formation, transcription, and viral assembly).
