Fig. 1From: The doses of plasmid backbone plays a major role in determining the HBV clearance in hydrodynamic injection mouse modelThe doses of pAAV/HBV1.2 plasmid determine HBV persistence in C57BL/6 mice. C57BL/6 mice were hydrodynamically injected with 6 μg or 20 μg pAAV/HBV1.2 plasmid. Serum levels of HBsAg (a) and HBeAg (b) were measured at indicated time points. c Positive rate of serum HBsAg after HBV plasmid injection. d Immunohistochemical staining for HBcAg in liver sections of mice at week 6 after injection with 6 μg or 20 μg pAAV/HBV1.2 plasmid.
