The stem-loop structure of the cis-encapsidation signal is highly conserved in naturally occurring hepatitis B virus variants.

Virology - 1 May 1994

Laskus T, Rakela J, Persing D H

Abstract excerpt

The region encoding the stem-loop structure of the HBV cis-encapsidation signal was sequenced in 87 patients with various forms of hepatitis. Altogether, 20 nucleotide substitutions were found; 15/20 were predicted to increase the stability of the stem-loop structure. Substitutions likely to decrease the stability of the cis-encapsidation signal were not observed.
