HBV Genotyping and Phylogenetic Analysis through Multiplex PCR Using Type Specific Primer Pairs in Pakistani
نویسندگان
چکیده
HBV genome is of approximately 3,200 base pairs having partially circular duplex DNA molecule. The circularity of HBV DNA is maintained by 5’ cohesive ends. The mRNA is synthesized by negative DNA strand of HBV. Four overlapping open reading frames are present *Corresponding author: Javed Iqbal, School of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, Xian, P.R China, Tel: (+52) 477-2674900; E-mail: [email protected]

Prevalence and Genotyping of Torque Teno Virus in HBV/HIV and Chronic HBV Patients in Iran
Background: Torque teno virus (TTV) was the first human Anelloviridae detected in a Japanese patient with an unknown type of hepatitis in 1997. TTV is by far the first known single-stranded circular DNA virus infecting human. In spite of its widespread nature in human population, its pathogenesis is still unclear. In addition, information regarding TTV infection in Iranian population is limited...
متن کاملGenotyping of Acanthamoeba Species Isolated from Keratitis Patients by PCR Sequencing Methods in Tehran, Iran
Background and Aims: Amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba are unicellular amphizoic opportunistic pathogens that may cause fatal granulomatous encephalitis, eye keratitis, amebic pneumonitis and skin nodules as well as abscesses in humans and animals. Acanthamoeba keratitis is caused by trauma to the eye, contaminated cleaning solutions and the use of contact lenses. The aim of the present study w...

متن کاملGenotyping by multiplex polymerase chain reaction for detection of endemic hepatitis B virus transmission.
A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was developed for rapid genotyping of hepatitis B virus (HBV). During the first PCR round, a universal HBV primer pair was used to amplify the entire pre-S region of the HBV genome. Within the pre-S region, many nucleotide exchanges are observed. These are partly correlated to the serological hepatitis B surface antigen subtypes. Five additional...
متن کاملHBV Genotyping in HBsAg-Positive Blood Donors from Southwestern Iran
I most Asian countries, with a general carrier rate of 5%–35%, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is hyperendemic (1). HBV is a member of Hepadnaviridae, a family of enveloped hepatotropic DNA viruses. It has a circular, partially doublestranded DNA of 3200 nt (2). This virus can cause severe liver disease with eventual progression to cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (3). HBV...
