The frequency of HBV genomic methylation in the liver was reported to vary among patients, but the detailed mechanism is still unknown. In this study, the effects of HBV genome methylation on HBV replication were investigated in vitro. A total of 6 plasmids containing 1.24-fold the HBV genome of different genotypes (subgenotypes A1, A2, B1, and C2) were purified after in vitro methylation with CpG...
