Abstract excerpt
A modified method for the direct sequencing of double-stranded DNA products of PCR amplification is described and has been applied to the analysis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) preC/C region in samples from persistently infected patients with chronic hepatitis. Data was obtained from both hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive and -negative chronic carriers. A high prevalence of mixed viral populations (wild-type...
