Table 1. Table of notations.
| Notation | Item |
|---|---|
| Ψ | Sinusoidal Lumen |
| Φk | kth Hepatocyte cell (cytosolic) |
| VΨ | Virion in Ψ (sinusoidal HBV) |
| PΨ | p36 protein in Ψ |
| VΦk | Virion in kth hepatocyte cell (cytosolic HBV) |
| PΦk | p36 protein in kth hepatocyte |
| CΦk | cccDNA in kth hepatocyte |
| SΦk | single-stranded DNA in kth hepatocyte |
| RΦk | ‘relaxed’ DNA in kth hepatocyte (also cytosolic HBV) |
| Γ | Vector of HBV replication parameters (br, a, ap,…) |
| Ψb | Extra-hepatic blood |
VΨ, VΦk and RΦk are all the same complete Hepatitis B viral particle and so will also be named HBV, where subscript ‘Φk’ indicates cytosolic particles in the kth hepatocyte, and ‘Ψ’ indicates particles in the sinusoidal lumen.
