Abstract excerpt
In a hepatitis B virus (HBV)‑infected population, persistently low expression levels of serum HBV serum antigen (HBsAg) are present, particularly in chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers (ASCs). The present study sequenced the HBV Pre‑S gene, and aimed to elucidate its features in ASCs with low HBsAg expression compared with in the established HBV Pre‑S reference gene sequences from ASCs with high HBsAg expression. A...
