We report the extraction of delta virus RNA from the serum of a delta-virus-infected patient and the subsequent cloning and analysis of a 380-nucleotide-long cDNA (D380). The nucleotide sequence of D380 shows overall differences of approximately 20% when compared with previously published sequences
The genomic RNA of an Asian isolate of hepatitis delta virus was cloned from a Chinese patient from Taiwan, using the polymerase chain reaction to amplify cDNA for cloning and sequencing. The sequence of this hepatitis delta virus isolate shares an 86% to 88% similarity with the three published hepa
