The emergence of envelope and precore/core variants of hepatitis B virus: the potential role of antibody selection.

Journal of hepatology - 1 Jan 1995

Thomas H C

Abstract excerpt

The appearance of replication-competent variants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with mutations in the envelope and precore/core proteins emphasizes that these proteins are the focus of immune selection pressure in the human host. The sequence and speed of application of the multiple selection pressur...
