Abstract excerpt
The co-existence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HBs antibodies (HBsAb) in serum of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-chronic carriers has been previously associated with HBsAg-amino acid (aa) substitutions. However, the aa pattern of HBV-reverse transcriptase (RT) and the clinical settings associated with this serological profile remain largely unknown. We studied thirteen HBsAg-positive/HBsAb-positive...
