Abstract excerpt
High replication and mutation rates of hepatitis B virus (HBV) often lead to reduced or suppressed hepatitis B e antigen expression. The most common mutations are genomic variations in the basal core promoter (BCP) and pre-core (PC) regions. However, the effect of BCP/PC mutations on HBV phenotype in vivo remains unclear. We compared and analyzed BCP/PC mutations and BCP/PC reverse mutations in mouse models. In...
