Conclusion: Preliminary data suggested that E2G/A may produce a truncated S protein by the formation of N-terminal signal peptide, which might cause the HBsAg secretion impairment in OBI.
Discussion: Meanwhile, the fluorescence density of pHBV1.3B-E2G/A and pHBV1.3C-E2A was significantly higher than that of genotype-matched pHBV1.3B/C (Figu
Discussion: On the other hand, the relative intracellular HBsAg of E2G/A were significantly increased than extracellular (110.7-338.3% vs.
Discussion: Second, it remains unclear why the extent of HBsAg secretion impairment caused by E2G/A varies greatly (110.7-338.3% vs.
