Figure 3. — The proportions of linear HBV DNA out of the total HBV DNA in liver biopsies were larger in 56 HBeAg-negative than in 14 HBeAg-positive patients (P < .0001, Mann-Whitney U test). The proportion of linear HBV DNA was determined using the ddPCR assays detecting total HBV DNA (nt 1550–1627) and circular HBV DNA (nt 1776–1924). The lines represent median values. Abbreviations: ddPCR, droplet digital PCR polymerase chain reaction; HBeAg, hepatitis B e antigen; HBV, hepatitis B virus; nt, nucleotide.
