Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects approximately 2 billion individuals; 254 million have chronic infection. The roles of spliced HBV (spHBV) RNAs in human infection are poorly understood partly due to limitations in quantitative methods. We designed and multiplexed long amplicon (0.3-2kbp) ddPCR assays that simultaneously quantify the most frequently observed spHBV isoforms (sp1, sp2, sp3, sp8, sp9) alongside...
