Abstract
HBV RNA is detectable in the serum of infected patients, however the RNA species has been questioned. We tested 1827 specimens using a quantitative dual-target qPCR assay and determined full-length pregenomic RNA is the primary source. These results clarify the major identity of circulating HBV RNA species.
