A sensitive and rapid Southern blot assay based on branched DNA technology for the detection of HBV DNA in cell culture and liver tissue samples
- Sothern blot is considered the “gold standard” for cccDNA detection because it can separate the cccDNA from protein-free relaxed circular DNA (pf-... [Read more]

HBV Ribonuclease H assay resolved by denaturing PAGE

This assay characterizes the products of HBV RNase H activity on a DNA:RNA heteroduplex.

Products are resolved by denaturing PAGE to assess specificity of cleavage and effects of inhibitory compounds on the enzyme
