Abstract excerpt
The function of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) wild-type (WT) polymerase (pol) expressed alone or in the context of the intact genome when interacting with HBV rtM204I in HepG2 cells was compared. We show that WT pol expression from a packaging-defective RNA can complement defective rtM204I pol activity resulting in increased levels of HBV replicative intermediates (RI). Analysis of the genetically marked genomes...
