The effect of HBV genotypes on the viral titers of SP1 spliced DNA based on the data of the 147 plasma samples in Table S3. (A) Relationship between the viral titer of X gene total DNA and that of SP1 spliced DNA for genotypes A–E. (B) Comparison of the numbers of spliced DNA positive samples detected from 79 of the 147 samples (A–E) with a viral load of ≤ 5 log copies/ml. The percentage of detectable spliced DNA positive samples is denoted in parentheses for each genotype. (C) Comparison of the numbers of spliced DNA positive samples detected from all of the 147 samples (A–E) regardless of viral load. The percentage of detectable spliced DNA positive samples is denoted in parentheses for each genotype. (D) Comparison of the average percentages of spliced DNA/X gene total DNA.
