From: A pre-S gene chip to detect pre-S deletions in hepatitis B virus large surface antigen as a predictive marker for hepatoma risk in chronic hepatitis B virus carriers

Figure 1

Representatives of the wild-type, pre-S 1 , and pre-S 2 mutant LHBS gene. The shaded boxes are the regions deleted in the pre-S1 and pre-S2 mutant LHBS. The numbers on the bottom of the gene indicate the pre-S1, S2, and S regions of the LHBS gene in nucleotide order. Nucleotide 1 is the start of the circular genome and the numbers go clockwise. The last nt number is 3221. Here only the S gene, which spans the start of the genome, is shown. The arrow at the top of the diagram indicates the start (nt 1) of the HBV genome.
