Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequences of the precore/core and X open reading frames (ORFs) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were studied in four subjects who were serologically negative for anti-hepatitis B core antibody. These subjects were positive for serum hepatitis B surface antigen and were considered to be asymptomatic HBV carriers. Sequencing of the precore/core ORF revealed precore wild type and 3 to 8 nucleotide...
