Abstract excerpt
Naturally occurring mutations in the H13V genome have been extensively documented, yet the biological consequences of even the dominant mutations have not been well characterized. In a recent study of HBeAg-positive French patients infected with genotype A, we obtained full-length clones with high or low replication capacities in the transfected human hepatoma cells. Surprisingly, high replicating clones were all...
