Near extinction of the HBV quasispecies driven by the hard selective sweep in chronic hepatitis B by Daiqiang Lu, Andong He, Guichan Liao, Renyu Zhou, Zichun Cheng, Ka Cheuk Yip, Xiufang Wang, Wei Cao, Jiaojiao Peng, Ruiman Li, Jie Peng, Feng Gao

“…The nearly identical viral population suggests that all these viruses are from a single source. Predominant mutations were identified in known T cell epitopes but not in epitopes for neutralizing antibodies, indicating that the hard selective sweep is most likely driven by T cell selection pressure. …”
