Hepatitis B virus genome recycling and de novo secondary infection events maintain stable cccDNA levels

<strong>Background &amp; Aims:</strong> Several steps in the HBV life cycle remain obscure because of a lack of robust in vitro infection models. These steps include particle entry, formation and maintenance of covalently closed circular (ccc) DNA, kinetics of gene expression and vir...
