Introduction to hepatitis B virus DNA

Detecting hepatitis B virus DNA is the "gold indicator" to determine whether hepatitis B virus has replicated. It is mainly used to determine the amount of hepatitis B virus present in the human body and the degree of infection. If the detection value is greater than 1000 or 1.0e+ 003 copies/ML. It means that hepatitis B virus DNA is positive, indicating that HBV is replicating and infectious. The higher the HBV-DNA, the more powerful the virus is replicating and the more contagious it is. This is of great significance for monitoring the process of hepatitis B treatment, judging the treatment effect, and formulating treatment plans. Hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV-DNA) is the core material of hepatitis B virus and the basis for virus replication. Under the "instructions" issued by the genetic genes carried by the viral DNA, HBV DNA replicates new viral shells and DNA cores, and then reassembles to form a large number of new viruses, which are released to continue to infect other liver cells. Hepatitis B virus DNA1 is the most direct, specific and sensitive indicator of HBV infection. Positive HBV-DNA indicates HBV replication and infectivity. The higher the HBV-DNA, the more powerful the virus is replicating and the more contagious it is. Hepatitis B treatment experts in China and the Asia-Pacific region have pointed out that the continued replication of hepatitis B virus is the fundamental cause of hepatitis B disease, and the fundamental purpose of hepatitis B treatment is to inhibit virus replication.
