N2 - The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a small RNA virus (1700 base pairs), which uses the surface proteins of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) as an envelope. Accurate and reliable quantitative detection of HDV RNA is central for scientific and translational clinical research or diagnostic purposes. However, HDV poses challenges for nucleic acid amplification techniques: (1) the circular genome displays high intramolecular base pairing; (2) high content of cytosine and guanine; and (3) enormous genomic diversity among the eight known HDV genotypes (GTs). Here, we provide step-by-step instructions for (A) a manual workflow to perform a quantitative HDV reverse transcription (RT)-PCR from serum and liver tissue and (B) a quantitative HDV RT-PCR assay with whole process control to be used for serum or plasma samples run on a fully automated system. Both assays target the conserved ribozyme region and demonstrate inclusivity for all eight HDV GTs. The choice of assay depends on the experimental needs and equipment availability. While the former is ideal for scientific research laboratories, the latter provides a useful tool in the field of translational research or diagnostics.
