Abstract excerpt

The nucleotide sequences of pre-S/S gene of nine hepatitis B virus strains (3 adw2, 3 ayw2, and 3 ayw 3) and of pre-S region of two adw4 isolates from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were determined. Phylogenetic analysis allowed to classify these strains into three genotypes, A, D and F, reflecting the...
