Abstract: E2 mutations (
E2G/A/V/D) existed in 21.8% (26/119) of
OBIs, while no E2 mutations were found in the control group.
Abstract: Our findings suggest that: (1)
E2G/A/V/D mutations were confirmed to significantly influence the detection of
HBsAg, (2) the underlying mechanism of
OBI caused by
E2G mutation is quite different between genotype B and genotype C, and (3)
E2G/A could produce a N-terminal truncated
S protein, which might attribute to the
