Figure Lengend Snippet: HBV DNA, HBeAg, and HBsAg decline and transient increase in ALT in C57BL/6 and C57BL/6 SCID mice after HAP-1 treatment. (A) C57BL/6 and C57BL/6 SCID mice that lack mature B and T lymphocytes were transduced with 1 × 1011 vg equivalents AAV-HBV and treated orally for 28 days with HAP-1 (36 mg/kg QD) or placebo. (B and C) Plots represent HBV DNA and HBeAg levels in plasma during treatment duration. (D) Correlation plot is shown between HBsAg levels and ALT increase in plasma during treatment duration. QD, once daily; vg, viral genome; LLOQ, lower limit of quantification. Data are shown as mean ± SEM and represent groups of five mice.
