Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HBs antibodies (anti-HBs) may coexist in certain chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This study was designed to further explore the relationship between this coexistence and hepatitis B Virus (HBV) preS deletions. Sera of 28 patients carrying both HBsAg a

## Abstract To investigate the relationship between viral factors and the development of chronic hepatitis B, the entire hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome of chronic carriers at different disease stages were analyzed. Eighty genotype C HBV carriers including 12 hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive a
To investigate the meaning of the mutations in the enhancer 2/core promoter (Enh2/CP) region of hepatitis B virus (HBV) during the chronic HBV infection, mutations were examined in the Enh2/ CP region (carboxyl half of X region) and their correlation with mutations in the precore and core regions in
