Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is an increasing need for the early detection of emerging mutations in the tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) motif of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase with using sensitive molecular methods. METHODS: We evaluated the usefulness of monitoring lamivudine resistance using a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based assay (the restriction...
