Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: HBV expresses more than 10 spliced RNAs from the viral pregenomic RNA, but their functions remain elusive and controversial. To address the function of HBV spliced RNAs, we generated splicing-deficient HBV mutants and conducted experiments to assess the impact of these mutants on HBV infection. METHODS: HepG2-NTCP cells, human hepatocyte chimeric FRG mice (hu-FRG mice), and serum from patients...
