Abstract excerpt
The gene coding for the small (S) envelope protein of hepatitis B virus was mutated to identify sequences important for the envelopment of the nucleocapsid during morphogenesis of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) virions. This study was focused on a domain of the S protein that is exposed in the cytop...
