Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene shares sequences with both the polymerase and precore genes, carries several regulatory signals critical to the replicative cycle, and its product has a transactivating function. In this study, the X gene sequences of 29 HBV strains from 14 different countries w...
