Abstract:
Molecular typing was conducted according to the reported method for one HBsAg positive carrier who had a physical examination in Yunnan Province. The S gene of this HBV sample was amplified by nested PCR and the PCR products were directly sequenced. Blast searching was done on the Genbank database and the sequence were compared with the HBV reference sequences in database. The phylogenetic tree was constructed. Homology analysis of nucleotide and smino acid were performed between the sequences from the sample and the reference sequences corresponding to HBV genotype A to I. Analysis of nucleotide and amino acid identities suggested that the sample belonged to HBV genotype I. The HBV genotype I is the first reported in China.
