Abstract: Among the 32 clinical patients, single
rtA181 and
rtN236T mutation and double
rtA181T and
rtN236T mutations were detected in 20 and 8, respectively, while ADV-resistant mutations in 6 (including,
rtA181V/T mutation alone in 5 patients) and no associated mutations in 26.
Abstract: METHODS: Based on the characteristics of
rtA181V/T and
rtN236T mutations, a new approach based on real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was established for the detection of ADV-resistant HBV quasispecies, to
