✦ Synopsis

and who developed recurrent HBV infection were evaluated for the study. Patients infected Abbreviations: HBV, hepatitis B virus; HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; nt, nucleowith hepatitis C or delta virus were excluded, leaving a study group tide; HBeAg, hepatitis B e antigen; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; BCP, basic core proof 15 in total. Of these, 9 were infected with HBV containing a Gmoter; HBcAg, hepatitis B core antigen; CTL, cytotoxic T lymphocyte; HLA, human lymphoto-A mutation at nt 1896 (precore mutant virus) and 6 with HBV cyte antigen.
