Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the possibility of producing transducible replication-defective hepadnaviruses, cloned mutant duck hepatitis B virus genomes were tested both for virus antigen production and viral DNA synthesis following transfection into the human hepatoma cell line HuH7. Deletion of a cis-acting 12-nucleotide sequence implicated in viral DNA synthesis, direct repeat 1 (DR1), resulted in the loss of ability to...
