Fig. 1From: Characterization of the hepatitis B virus DNA detected in urine of chronic hepatitis B patientsDiagram of the HBV genome (NC_003977.1), indicating location of primers and the amplicons generated by qPCR assays in this study. Black rectangles represent the following HBV regions: polymerase, enhancer II, basal core promoter, precore, Surface, X, Core, and pre-S gene. These regions correspond to the dashed line representing the HBV genome with vertical gray bars indicating nucleotide location. The black lines below this HBV genome map indicate the amplicon location of each qPCR assay used in the study. The name of the region targeted by the qPCR assay is written above the black line and the exact location of the amplicon is indicated below the black lineBack to article page
