Abstract excerpt
Woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) is a valuable animal model system for studies of hepatitis B virus infection and accurate assessments of WHV viral load are necessary in these studies. Wild-captured woodchucks that are naturally infected with WHV are sometimes used in these studies, however, the sequence variation in WHV isolates generally precludes the use of TaqMan PCR. To facilitate this, we have created a...
