Abstract excerpt
Chronic hepatitis B virus infection is a major medical problem worldwide. Apart from HBsAg carriers, hepatitis B virus has also been identified in some HBsAg-individuals with or without antibodies to viral antigens.

To identify a possible genetic basis for viral persistence, we cloned the viral genome...
