Abstract excerpt
We previously reported two mutually exclusive mutations in the precore region of hepatitis B virus: M1 (T-1856, proline-serine substitution at codon 15) and M2 (A-1896, stop codon at codon 28). This study was conducted to determine if the presence of precore mutants affect spontaneous or interfer...
