Abstract excerpt
Mutations in HBsAg, the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), might affect the serum HBV DNA level of HBV-infected patients, since the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain of HBV polymerase overlaps with the HBsAg-coding region. We previously identified a diagnostic escape mutant (W3S) HBV that produces massively glycosylated HBsAg. In this study, we constructed an HBV-producing vector that expresses W3S...
