We compared sequences from the surface and polymerase regions of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from 4 patients who failed high-dose HBIg therapy with two control groups:

The scarcity of liver donors requires consideration of grafts from sources not previously used. Allografts from hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-carriers without a significant liver disease have been proposed for liver transplant recipients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis and hepat
