From: Baseline value of intrahepatic HBV DNA over cccDNA predicts patient’s response to interferon therapy
Difference of intrahepatic pgRNA in non-responders versus responders after IFN treatment. (A) Flowchart of HBV pgRNA specific amplification procedures. PGF: pgRNA forward primer; PGR: pgRNA reverse primer. (B) Agarose gel electrophoresis (lower panel) and quantification (upper panel) of HBV pgRNA products amplified by PCR in liver biopsy after IFN treatment. Note: Patients with HBeAg sero-conversion are marked with “*”. (C) Mean values of intrahepatic pgRNA in non-responders versus responders after IFN treatment.
