Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is encapsidated by the envelope proteins of hepatitis B virus (HBV). The major HBV lamivudine (LMV)-resistant mutations in the polymerase gene within the reverse transcriptase (rt) region at rtM204V or rtM204I are associated with changes in the overlapping envelope gene products, in particular, the gene encoding small envelope protein (s) at sI195M or sW196L/S/Stop. We have...
