FIG. 2.

The percentage of HDV cDNA clones with A→G transitions at specific sites within the region from nt 907 to 1264 is plotted for cDNA populations derived from replicating or nonreplicating HDV RNAs. cDNA populations were derived from replicating HDV RNA harvested 13 days after Huh-7 cells were transfected with plasmid pHDVx1.2-R (84 clones) (A) and nonreplicating HDV RNA harvested 6 days after Huh-7 cells were transfected with the nonreplicating HDV RNA expression plasmid pHDVΔx1-NR (97 clones) (B). Sequence numbering refers to the genomic strand (39). Numbers in italics indicate sequence positions that exhibited A→G transitions.
