Chimeric mice (5YM, n=22, #1–22) were infected with HBV and necropsied at 2 (n=3), 4 (n=4), 6 (n=4), 8 (n=4), 10 (n=2), and 13 (n=5) weeks after inoculation. Real-time qPCR was performed to measure the levels of (A) serum HBV DNA, (B) total intrahepatic HBV DNA, (C) total intrahepatic HBV RNA, and (D) intrahepatic cccDNA. Detected (*) but lower than quantification (----) and not determined (#).
