Disclosed is a recombinant plasmid for expressing hepatitis B viral antigens in vivo, comprising an adeno-associated virus (AVV) vector and a replication-competent hepatitis B virus genome fragment. Mice hydrodynamically injected with the recombinant plasmid of the present invention show persistent expression of hepatitis B viral antigens for more than 6 months in the hepatocytes, thus a immuno-competent mouse model for persistent expression of hepatitis B antigens and also for human chronic hepatitis B virus infection is established, which can be applied in evaluation and elucidation of mechanism of chronic hepatitis and anti-viral drug discovery research.
