Abstract excerpt
This chapter describes the procedures for the generation of recombinant hepatitis B virus (HBV) that contains the polymerase/reverse transcriptase (pol/RT) gene from clinical isolates. It also contains procedures for phenotypic testing of the recombinant HBV in HepG2 cells for susceptibility to nucleos(t)ide analogs. Amplification and cloning of the pol/RT gene as opposed to the full-length HBV genome from a...
