## Abstract Since the amount of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA might be correlated with the degree of severity of hepatitis and response to treatment, quantitation of HCV RNA in serum was established using competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Known amounts of a plasmid containing HCVβcDNA were
Nucleic acid amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a very powerful technique in terms of sensitivity but is limited in terms of ability to perform accurate quantitation. While there is a theoretical correlation between copies of input target sequence and those of PCR product, the quant
