Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) loss represents a late stage of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection associated with a drastic decrease in HBV-DNA, a lower risk of disease progression, and the occurrence of several mutations in the preCore/core region. However, the underlying mechanisms supporting the downregulation of viral replication have yet to be elucidated. In the present study, the analysis of the...
