Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim was to build a PCR-RFLP method for detecting rtN236T mutants and to observe their kinetics in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. METHODS: Seven CHB patients who had suboptimal viral response or viral breakthrough under adefovir mono-therapy were studied. Part of the HBV reverse transcriptional gene from serial sera samples was sequenced with PCR products or cloned HBV DNA; mutations at rt236...
