Quantification and epigenetic evaluation of the residual pool of hepatitis B covalently closed circular DNA in long-term nucleoside analogue-treated patients
3 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular (ccc)DNA is the key genomic form responsible for viral persistence and virological relapse after treatment withdrawal. The assessment of residual intrahepatic cccDNA levels and activity after long-term nucleos(t)ide analogues therapy still represents a technical challenge. Quantitative (q)PCR, rolling circle amplification (RCA) and droplet digital (dd)PCR assays...
