Abstract excerpt
The biological implications of substitutions L60V and I97L in the core (c) gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were investigated in order to determine whether they could change the immunogenicity of HBcAg or influence the immune response in mice. Three strains of recombinant adenoviruses--AdHBV-WT, AdHBV-L60V and AdHBV-I97L--containing wild-type or mutant HBV genomes were constructed using the AdEasy system and used...
