Abstract excerpt
Long-term usage of lamivudine in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection induces the emergence of drug resistance. Sensitive and specific methods aimed at detecting the mutants are clinically useful and required. The purpose of this study was to develop methods for detecting the mutations of YMDD, rtL180M, and rtV173L by nanoscale mutation-sensitive switch consisting of high fidelity polymerase...
