The complete nucleotide sequences of the cloned hepatitis B virus DNA; subtype adr and adw.

چکیده
The complete nucleotide sequences of two different subtypes (adr and adw) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA cloned in E. coli were determined. The sequence of the viral genome of the adr clone was 3188 nucleotides long, and that of the adw clone was 3200 nucleotides long. The adr and adw clones differed from the reported cloned ayw HBV DNA (3182 nucleotides long) in 11.2% and 10.0% of nucleotides, respectively. Heterogeneity of the HBV genome in the clones with the same subtype was observed.

Typing hepatitis B virus by homology in nucleotide sequence: comparison of surface antigen subtypes.
The complete nucleotide sequences of the DNA of three hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes of subtype adw, cloned from plasma samples of asymptomatic carriers living in the mainland and Okinawa Prefecture of Japan and Indonesia were determined. All three comprised 3215 bp and differed in sequence by only 3.9 to 5.6%. When these isolates were compared with the reported sequences of two HBV genomes of...
متن کاملComplete nucleotide sequence of a hepatitis B virus, subtype adw2, and identification of three types of C open reading frame.
We have sequenced the complete genome of a hepatitis B virus (A938) obtained from serum of a patient with a high-titred, HBeAg-positive infection. The DNA sequence (3221 bp) was 99.2%, 95.4%, 90.9% and 89% homologous to the sequences of subtypes adw2 (3), adw (1), adr (5) and ayw (9). The adw2 subtype of the A938 virus was verified by analysing the subtype specific amino acids of the major surf...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of a cloned hepatitis B virus genome, subtype ayr: comparison with genomes of the other three subtypes.
The entire nucleotide sequence of genomic DNA was determined for hepatitis B virus (HBV) of subtype ayr, which had been derived from the blood of a Japanese asymptomatic carrier. The genome was 3215 nucleotides long, and differed in DNA sequence by 10% from that of subtypes adw or ayw, but by only 2% from that of subtype adr. Amino acid sequences coded for by the S, C, P and X genes, as well as...

AIMS This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and characteristics of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes, antigen subtypes, "a" determinant variants and pre-S gene mutations circulating on a large scale in Thailand. METHODS The sequences of the Pre-S1, Pre-S2 and S regions were determined in serum samples of 147 HBsAg and HBV DNA-positive subjects who had been enrolled from the nat...

Abstract Background and objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus with high tendency toward hepatic tissue. There are currently about 3 million HBV-infected people and 350 to 400 million chronic carriers of this virus in the world. X protein plays a role in the over-expression of oncogenes, carcinogenicity of liver cells and overlaps with the basal co...
