Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting HBV DNA and a kit thereof, in particular to the detection of the drug resistance of hepatitis B virus lamivudine by using fluorescent labeled probes and specific primers. Background technique
[0002] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is prevalent all over the world. It is estimated that 2 billion people are infected worldwide, of which 350 million are chronically infected, and my country accounts for about half of them. About 1 million people die from HBV infection every year. This infection can eventually develop into liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, which is currently the ninth leading cause of death in human diseases announced by WHO.
[0003] The current treatments for HBV infection mainly include interferon and lamivudine. Interferon has a long course of treatment and a low overall response rate. Only 20% to 30% of hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) disappears in non-selected patients. The curative effect ...
