## Abstract Although Korea is a hepatitis B virus (HBV) endemic area, relatively few fullβlength genome sequences are available. In particular, no comparative analysis has been performed on the fullβgenome sequences of different HBV quasispecies from a single Korean patient. This report describes t

## Abstract In hepatitis B virus (HBV)βendemic countries, the majority of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arises in HBV carriers. High frequency of mutations at nucleotides 1762(AβT) and 1764(GβA) in the core promoter region have been described in HCC. Due to the differences in genetic backgrounds,
## Abstract To investigate further the possible role of mutant hepatitis B viruses in the pathogenesis of fulminant hepatitis B, the genomic sequence of hepatitis B virus isolates from 9 South African blacks with this disease, including 5 entire genomes, was analysed. Seven of the isolates were gen
## Abstract Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 25 patients with chronic hepatitis B were tested for the presence of free monomeric hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA migrating as a single 3.2 Kb band by Southern blot analysis. The PBMC were cultured for 7 days in the presence of phytohemagglut
