Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a PCR melting curve detection method for HBV genotyping. Background technique
[0002] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) mainly causes liver damage through the host immune mechanism. The body's immune system recognizes viral antigens and attacks the infected liver cells to cause inflammation. This process is affected by multiple factors including the host and the virus. Viral gene heterogeneity affects the expression of antigens and also plays an important role in this process. Different strains have different frequencies of certain mutations, different strains' resistance to immune clearance, and other factors may cause different genotypes to have different post-infection disease spectrum.
[0003] HBV is usually divided into eight genotypes from A to H, based on the heterogeneity of the whole gene sequence ≥ 8%, or the heterogeneity of the S gene sequence ≥ 4%. HBV genotypes are distributed in a certain geographical area. Type C is predomi...
