Bacteriophages and their applications in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B virus infection

Figure 1 Various potentials of bacteriophages for hepatitis B virus infection.

Figure 2 Cell-specific targeting of bacteriophages. Attachment of a ligand, with specific binding ability to a receptor on the surface of target cell, leads to targeted delivery of bacteriophage to the cell of interest. This ligand is fused to one of the phage coat proteins.
