Problems solved by technology

Southern blot is considered to be the gold standard for cccDNA detection. Although it can effectively distinguish cccDNA and rcDNA, it is not suitable for clinical specimen detection due to its low sensitivity and large sample size (NASSAL M 2015. HBVcccDNA:viral persistence reservoir and key obstacle for a cure of chronicepatitis B.Gut[J],64:1972-1984)
In recent years, in view of the different structures of rcDNA and cccDNA, primers across the gap have been designed to detect cccDNA by PCR. However, because the content of rcDNA in liver cells is nearly 1000 times higher than that of cccDNA, and the sequence structure is similar, there are false positive results
[0008] The current methods for cccDNA detection include western blot (Southern Blot) and rolling circle amplification combined with fluorescent quantitative PCR (RCA-qPCR), both of which have low detection sensitivity and long time-consuming (>24 hours). , and it is only suitable for cultured hepatocytes or liver tissue samples, and cannot quantitatively detect the content of cccDNA in human serum, so its clinical application is limited

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biological detection, in particular to a droplet type digital PCR method and a kit for clinical detection of HBV cccDNA. Background technique [0002] Globally, more than 750,000 patients are diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) every year, and its incidence rate ranks fourth among all tumors, and its mortality rate ranks third (CHEN W, ZHENG R, BAADE P D, et al. 2016. Cancer statistics in China, 2015. CA Cancer J Clin[J], 66:115-132). Among cancer patients under the age of 60, the incidence of liver cancer ranks second, and the number of deaths ranks first. In China, more than 450,000 patients are diagnosed with liver cancer each year, and more than 400,000 patients die of liver cancer. At present, the main causes of liver cancer are chronic infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV), infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV), exposure to alcohol and aflatoxin B1 (FORNER A, LLOVET J M, BRUIX J2012.
