ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To quantitatively detect hepatitis B virus covalently closed circular DNA (HBV cccDNA) in sera of chronic hepatitis B patients with a newly established assay.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Primers and probe were designed in highly conservative region of HBV DNA. DNA was extracted from 175 sera samples of chronic hepatitis B patients, and was treated with plasmid-Safe-ATP-dependent Dnase(PSAD) to eliminate the relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA). The products were amplified by real-time PCR with primers spanning.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The detection rate of serum HBV cccDNA was found to correlate directly with serum HBV DNA loading. HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients had higher serum HBV cccDNA levels than HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method is good because of the high specificity. It can be used for detection of HBV cccDNA. DNA;</p>
