Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Detection of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) is essential to clinical diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVES: To establish a single tube, real-time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of multiple lamivudine-resistant mutations in serum samples. STUDY DESIGN: By using four sequence-specific displacing probes labeled with different fluorophores, a single real-time PCR reaction can tell...
