Abstract excerpt
The clinical importance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome variability has been reported recently. One example is the occurrence of hepatitis B virus pre-core mutants, which arise during spontaneous or interferon-induced seroconversion from HBeAg to anti-HBe and are thought to be selected by immun...
