Abstract: However, the presence of two single variations,
T143M in genotype A, and
T125M in genotype D, produced a decrease of 44% and an increase of 34%, respectively, on
HBsAg mean values in comparison with their consensus forms.
Abstract: However, unique amino acid substitutions not linked to genotypes, such as
T125M and
T143M described here, should have more implications in HBV immunological diagnostics than the set of variations characteristic of each HBV genotype.
