Abstract: The rates of HBV/C to HBV/B were 92.1% to 7.9% in the
rtA181T-positive patients, but 82.1% to 17.9% in the
rtA181T-negative paticnts (P less than 0.01).Almost all (98.2%; 129/165) of the
rtA181T led to
sW172*, while only 1.8% of the
rtA181T (3/165) led to
sW172L or
sW172S.
HBsAg secretion in vitro was reduced from the
rtA181T/
sW172*
