Abstract excerpt
The evolutionary profile of hepatitis B virus (HBV) quasispecies may influence the clinical course of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), but few studies have characterized quasispecies according to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) status. In this study, we analyzed 289 full-length HBV clones from 19 treatment-naïve CHB patients with long-term infection (> 10 years), comprising nine HBeAg-positive and ten HBeAg-negative,...
