The genetic variability of hepatitis B virus (HBV) represents a challenge for the sensitivity of
immunologic and molecular based assays. Based on sequence divergence in the entire …

The article discusses hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and transfusion medicine. It is said
that HBV, an obscure, hidden disease, is found in persons having HBV DNA in their blood or …

We have evaluated the performance characteristics of three quantitative gene expression
technologies and correlated their expression measurements to those of five commercial …

Reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) during chemotherapy is well documented. However,
there are limited data on this complication in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an enveloped virus with a small (3.2-kb) partially double-stranded
DNA genome that causes acute and chronic infections. The impact of these infections on …

Medical microbiology is a branch of medical science that deals with the prevention,
diagnosis, and therapy of infectious diseases. A clinical microbiologist is a professional …

Viral hepatitis B and C virus (HBV and HCV) are responsible for the most of chronic liver
disease worldwide and are transmitted by parenteral route, sexual and vertical transmission …

Background Nowadays, dried blood spots (DBS) are primarily used to obtain diagnostic
access to risk collectives such as intravenous drug users, who are prone to infections with …

We describe a novel method to quantitatively measure messenger RNA (mRNA) expression
of multiple genes directly from crude cell lysates and tissue homogenates without the need …

The detection and quantification of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA are essential for the
diagnosis and treatment of chronic HBV infection. The use of real-time PCR assays for HBV …
