Biological Characterization of Hepatitis B virus Genotypes: Their Role in Viral Replication and Antigen Expression
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) inter-host evolution has resulted in genomic diversification reflected in the existence of nine genotypes (A-I) and numerous subgenotypes. There is growing evidence that genotypes influence HBV natural history, clinical outcomes, and treatment response. However, the biologica...
