Abstract excerpt
A major problem of long-term antiviral therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients is the emergence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutations associated with drug resistance. Recently, a new array using peptide nucleic acids (PNAs), which are synthetic nucleic acid analogues, was developed for the detection of HBV mutations at six different codon positions associated with lamivudine (LAM) and adefovir (ADV) resistance. We...
