Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B (HBV) drug resistance assay is important for guiding therapy after the development of virologic breakthrough for patients receiving nucleoside/-tide analog therapy. However, the existing genotyping tools are either costly or lack sensitivity to detect mixed genotypes, and an improved method of resistant mutation detection is needed. An assay protocol for clinical application using pyrosequencing...
