Abstract excerpt
AIM: To develop a simple and rapid detection of HBV gene variants and prediction of lamivudine-resistance in patients. METHODS: Initially, plasmids harboring the wild-type or mutant HBV DNA fragments were used in a model system. The technique was then applied to clinical samples for an analysis of YMDD mutations. The sera were extracted from chronic hepatitis patients who had received lamivudine treatment for...
