Fig 5. Signature pattern analysis of HBV surface gene between chronic and occult HBV/D1 strains found in HIV-positive individuals.

Fig 5

The complete HBV small surface ORF was compared between chronic HBV/D1 (n = 8) and occult HBV/D1 strains (n = 11). The major substitution to be detected was at the codon 129 where a Glutamine to Arginine substitution took place. Occult HBV sequences are labelled as O-, whereas the chronic HBV sequences are labelled as C-. The analysis was performed with a threshold value of 0.9.
