Hepatitis B Virus RNA Profiles in Liver Biopsies by Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction

Replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV) originates from covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and involves reverse transcription of pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), which is also called core RNA and encodes the capsid protein. The RNA coding for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the envelope of viral o...
