Abstract excerpt
A rapid and accurate minor groove binder (MGB) real-time PCR is described for detection lamivudine resistance mutations in hepatitis B virus. The real-time PCR was compared with direct Sanger sequencing in 53 clinical patients samples, the results of the real-time PCR correlate with the nucleotide sequence and the assay has the advantage of detecting a mixture of quasi-species with higher sensitivity than...
