## Abstract Some chronic HBV carriers have circulating HBV DNA despite the presence of antiβHBeAg antibodies. This observation has recently been related to the presence, in the HBV preβC region, of a translational stop codon that prevents HBeAg synthesis. In the present study, we analyzed, at the n
## Abstract In chimpanzee hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers, the molecular mechanism for viral persistence has been examined by analyzing the properties of viral DNA molecules in liver and serum. Two extrachromosomal HBVβDNA molecules migrating on Southern blots at 4.0 kb and 2.3 kb were observed in
Suppressor T-cell activity and allogeneic T-cell response to concanavalin A (ConA) were investigated in 46 patients chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Thirty-eight patients had chronic active hepatitis, seven of whom were superinfected with Delta virus, and eight were healthy chronic
