Abstract excerpt
Variants of hepatitis B surface antigen have been described in different clinical settings, but their replicative capacity in vitro has remained unexplored. Point mutations leading to sT131I, sK141E, and sG145R amino-acid substitutions were engineered by site-directed mutagenesis into an infectious plasmid clone of the virus. The mutated constructs were transfected into Huh7 cells, and their replication capacity...
