Molecular basis of the diversity of hepatitis B virus core-gene products.

Abstract excerpt

All hepatitis B viruses examined to date code for at least two different core-gene products which are referred to as the c- and the e-protein. In the case of the human hepatitis B virus, they are known as the HBcAg and the HBeAg. Although these proteins share most of their primary amino acid sequence, they exhibit quite distinct properties. The e-protein is located in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of infected...
