Abstract excerpt
The entire nucleotide sequence was determined for eight hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes from three symptom-free carriers, two patients with chronic persistent hepatitis and one patient with chronic active hepatitis, who were positive for antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). The two patients...
