Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the YMDD motif of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase gene increase lamivudine resistance of HBV, highlighting the clinical importance of accurate and sensitive detection of HBV mutants. Using dual-priming oligonucleotide primer technology, an assay that can detect mutations at codons 180 (L528M) and 204 (YVDD, YIDD, and YSDD) by a single-step multiplex PCR was developed. This Seeplex Lami-DR...
