The Effect of the Hepatitis B Virus Surface Protein Truncated sC69∗ Mutation on Viral Infectivity and the Host Innate Immune Response

Viruses could rapidly diversify into variants, which has long been known to facilitate viral adaption in the host. Recent studies showed that cooperation among variants and wild-type (WT) also increased viral fitness. Here, a mutant of sC69∗ in small hepatitis B surface protein (SHBs) that resulted...
