Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: INNO-LiPA HBV Genotyping (LiPA HBV GT) and INNO-LiPA HBV PreCore (LiPA HBV PC) are commercially available assays for hepatitis B virus (HBV) characterization. These assays are labor-intensive and may be prone to exogenous DNA contamination due to their use of nested PCR amplification procedures and lack of contamination control measures. OBJECTIVE: Standardized, single-round INNO-LiPA PCR...
