Table 5. Sequence distribution of integrated wild-type 1165A and mutant 1165A/DR1-13 DHBV.
Experiment* | No. analyzed | Wild type, % | Mutant, % |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 8 | 0 | 100 |
2 | 37 | 0 | 100 |
Total | 45 | 0 | 100 |
I-SceI expression and a 1:1 mixture of 1165A and 1165A/DR1-13 plasmids (50 and 10 μg, respectively) were electroporated into 4 × 106 LMH3.2 cells. After 3 days in culture, genomic DNA was purified and assayed for viral-cell junctions at the target cleavage sites as described in Methods. Genotypes were determined by direct sequencing of the PCR products.
