Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is hyperendemic to southern Africa, with genotype A of HBV being the predominant genotype, and subgenotype A1 prevailing. Infection with this subgenotype is associated with rapid disease progression, and high frequency of hepatocellular carcinoma development. The objectives of our study was to construct recombinant 1.28 mer replication competent HBV DNA plasmids of subgenotypes A1, A2 and...
