Abstract excerpt
We have observed in a previous study that insertion, deletion and partial frameshift mutation in the distal pre-S region did not abolish replication capacity of the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) (Li et al., 1989, J. Virol. 63, 4965-4968). To compare further the relative replication capacity between the pre-S mutant and wild type virus, ducts were infected with either the wild type DHBV strain or a pre-S mutant...
