## Abstract The detection of negative‐strand hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is a hallmark of replication. A highly sensitive and specific method is required to quantify the very low level of replication inherent to in vitro infection systems. Based on reverse transcription with a tagged primer in the
A modified competitive RT-PCR (mcRT-PCR) to measure HCV RNA in serum and the Amplicor HCV Monitor assay were compared. For mcRT-PCR, the RNA extracted was retrotranscribed and coamplified in one step with a known amount of a DNA internal control (IC). Digoxigenin-labeled amplified products were hybr
## Abstract Accuracy for monitoring of the concentration of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA represents a major challenge throughout the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C. To investigate the genotype‐independent efficiency and the accuracy of two real‐time detection reverse transcription‐p
## Abstract A new, sensitive enzyme immunoassay has been developed for detecting and quantifying total hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen in anti‐HCV positive or negative sera (“__trak__‐__C__™”, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance o
