Abstract: The impaired replication capacity of this
V542I mutant may have contributed to the absence of outgrowth of this viral strain in vivo.
Abstract: The results showed that the
V542I mutant has a decreased replication capacity compared with wild type virus and does not produce
HBsAg.
Abstract: The results showed the transient selection of a
V542I mutant in the C domain of the viral
polymerase.
Abstract: The sensitivity of the
V542I mutant to penciclovir, the active metabolite of famciclovir, was further studied in tissue culture.
