Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the biological impacts of "hot-spot" mutations on genotype B and C HBV X proteins (HBx). METHODS: Five types of "hot-spot" mutations of genotype B or C HBV X genes, which sequentially lead to the amino acid substitutions of HBx as I127T, F132Y, K130M+V131I, I127T+K130M+V131I, or K130M+V131I+F132Y, respectively, were generated by means of site-directed mutagenesis. To evaluate the...
