Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a persistent pathogen that causes acute and chronic necroinflammatory liver disease and is attributable to ~1 million deaths per year. In the present study, a conventional murine model was introduced based on the hydrodynamic injection of engineered replication‑competent HBV DNA into the tail veins of C57BL/6 mice. In a previous study, nine in‑frame ATG (start) codons in the S open...
