Study design and detection of HBV DNA- or WHV DNA-specific signals by invPCR/NAH after infection of HepaRG cells or healthy woodchucks. (a) HepaRG cells infected with authentic HBV from patients NL01.A, NL02.C and NL03.E with chronic hepatitis B. (b) Woodchucks Cw1 to Cw4 intravenously infected with WHVtm/3 inoculum. Liver biopsy 1 (Bx-1) obtained prior to experiment, LBx-2 at 1 or 3 h after injection with WHV, and LBx-3 acquired 6 weeks thereafter. Open circles show the acquisition time of cells or liver biopsies and closed circles represent samples in which virus DNA hybridization signals suggesting virus–host integration were detected. A, C and E, HBV genotypes; F, female; M, male.
