background and aims: lamivudine is amongst the antiviral for drug chronic hepatitis b treatment. during therapy with lamivudine, variants may emerge with ymdd mutation in the reverse transcriptase (rt) region of polymerase gene. this mutation might have a role in drug resistant for hbv. materials and methods: hbv dna extraction from serum sample of 88 patients, were subjected to nested pcr for ...

Background: Spermatogenesis associated 19 (Spata19) was introduced as a testis-specific gene that probably involved in spermatogenesis cell apoptosis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Spata19 inactivation on sperm count. Materials and Methods: We generated global knockout mice by CRISPR/Cas9 nickase technology. Disability validated three levels DNA, RNA, protein using PC...

An assay protocol based on single-tube, noninterrupted reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) for the detection of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is described. After the conditions for RT-PCR had been optimized, a primer set framing a region within the gene coding for IBDV VP2 protein was used to amplify a 318-bp fragment of the IBDV genome. Amplified product was detected with three strains...
