摘要:
Compositions and methods for rendering a polypeptide capable of binding with Vpr and to susceptible to incorporation into a are provided. Methods of treating a human patient infected with a virus which expresses Vpr and methods of providing a polypeptide to a cell of a human patient are also included. The invention further includes a method of determining whether a polypeptide comprises a Vpr-binding region.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for the detection of hepatitis B virus in atypical infections by simultaneously detecting antibodies against the X and polymerase gene products of HBV. Further, the present invention provides methods for the detection of HBV in atypical infections in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay employing selected primes. These primers allow the detection of a specific class of HBV variants. These methods are useful for demonstrating the presence of productive virus infection and may prove useful in monitoring therapeutics.
