Correlation between intrahepatic cccDNA and serum HBV markers. Twenty-four HBV-infected chimeric mice under various conditions were divided into the HBV infection as during spreading phase of partially infection (n = 8; #1–2, #13–16, #19, #20) and the stable phase of fully infection (n = 16; #3–12, #17–18, #22–24). The cccDNA contents were correlated with (A) serum HBsAg and (B) serum HBcrAg in each group. Characteristics of each mouse were described in Table S2.
