Fig. 4. PRKDC is dispensable for the formation of cccDNA.

HBV cccDNA was extracted at day 5 post HBV infection using the Hirt method. Real-time PCR analysis was performed using cccDNA-specific primers upon shRNA knockdown (A) or NU7026 treatment (D). Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) was also carried out to detect the numbers of cccDNA after PRKDC knockdown (B) or inhibitor treatment (E). The decrease in total HBV RNAs or pgRNA expression was calculated as the ratio of normalized HBV RNAs or pgRNA to cccDNA after PRKDC knockdown (C) or inhibitor treatment (F). **P < 0.01; n.s. not significant.
