Abstract excerpt

To study the heterogeneity of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNAs in Hong Kong, where HBV infection is endemic, serum specimens from 90 HBsAg carrier children were systematically tested with nine oligonucleotide probes representing conserved sequences in the viral genome. In a pair of twins and their co...
