To study the association between hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutants and the pathogenesis of severe hepatitis B by full-length HBV genome.
Serum samples from 10 severe hepatitis B patients were collected in our hospital. Serum HBV DNAs were extracted using DNA mini Kit, and amplified by LA Taq DNA polymerase to yield full-length HBV DNA. PCR products were isolated and cloned into vector pUCm-T, then transfected into DH-5 alpha cells. Positive clones were selected and checked by digestion, and full-length HBV DNAs were sequenced.
4 cases were cloned into vector pUCm-T successfully and completed the full-length sequencing. Among them, 3 cases had a G to A mutation at nucleotide 1896 in pre-C region and 1 had a double mutation of T1762-A1764 in the core promoter region. Some amino acid changes occurred within the known CTL, B or T cell epitopes of the PrS2 and C regions.
This method could serve to study the relationship between HBV genome and the pathogenesis of severe hepatitis B.
通过乙肝病毒(HBV)全基因组研究HBV突变体与重型乙型肝炎发病机制之间的关联。
收集我院10例重型乙型肝炎患者的血清样本。使用DNA小提试剂盒提取血清HBV DNA,并用LA Taq DNA聚合酶进行扩增以产生全长HBV DNA。分离PCR产物并克隆到载体pUCm-T中,然后转染到DH-5α细胞中。挑选阳性克隆并通过酶切进行鉴定,对全长HBV DNA进行测序。
4例成功克隆到载体pUCm-T中并完成全长测序。其中,3例在前C区核苷酸1896处发生G到A的突变,1例在核心启动子区发生T1762-A1764的双重突变。在PreS2和C区已知的CTL、B或T细胞表位内发生了一些氨基酸变化。
该方法可用于研究HBV基因组与重型乙型肝炎发病机制之间的关系。
