Abstract excerpt
A matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based genotyping assay, termed restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) has been recently developed for detecting hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutants. The assay is based on PCR amplification and mass measurement of oligonucleotides containing sites of mutations that confer resistance to lamivudine. We compared the efficacy and...
