Abstract excerpt
We have shown, by analyzing serial serum samples from a chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier, the emergence of HBV DNA molecules with nucleotide rearrangements in the pre-S/S and pre-C/C genes. Serum samples were obtained at four different times (1983, 1985, 1988, and 1989) from an HBsAg- and...
