    Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health burden and affects approximatively 300 million people around the world. Since, HBV population is represented with genetic diversity, having different viral effects. Development of a new prognosis method play a key role on the efficiency of the different treatment. The HBx protein of HBV has a potential role in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), which makes it a valuable target for HCC prognosis. In this context, the first quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay in the Mediterranean area was developed and validated. Specific primers and probes of a conserved X region across all HBV genotypes were designed and the qRT-PCR was performed with the TaqPath 1-Step Multiplex Master Mix on 441 Moroccan plasma samples in Pasteur Institute of Morocco. The assay demonstrated a linear quantification range of 10

    Abstract Innate immunity constitutes the first nonspecific immunological line of defense against infection. In this response, a variety of mechanisms are activated: the complement system, phagocytosis, and the inflammatory response. Then, adaptive immunity is activated. Major opsonization mediators during infections are immunoglobulins (Igs), the function of which is mediated through Fc receptors (FcRs). However, in addition to their role in adaptive immunity, FcRs have been shown to play a role in innate immunity by interacting directly with bacteria in the absence of their natural ligands (Igs). Additionally, it has been hypothesized that during the early phase of bacterial infection, FcRs play a protective role via innate immune functions mediated through direct recognition of bacteria, and as the infection progresses to later phases, FcRs exhibit their established function as receptors in adaptive immunity. This review provides detailed insight into the potential role of FcRs as innate immune mediators of the host defense against bacterial infection independent of opsonins.
