Abstract excerpt
A genotype-specific probes assay (GSPA) was developed for distinguishing the seven genotypes (A-G) of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Nucleotide (nt) sequences corresponding to preS1 region were amplified by PCR with a primer labeled with biotin, and delivered to eight wells on which complementary sequences specific to one or other genotype had been immobilized. Thereafter, hybridization of HBV DNA sequences amplified...
