Group I and II hepatitis C virus genotypes were determined by a newly developed serological genotyping assay. This assay detected antibodies against group-specific recombinant proteins in the putative NS4 pro\*in region (amino acid no. 1676-1760) by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This region

It has been reported that the avidity of specific IgG antibody is lower in primary viral infection than in chronic viral infection. However, few studies have been reported on the IgG avidity in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In the present study, 36 patients with antibody to HCV (anti-HCV) were
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted mainly by the parenteral route after percutaneous exposure to virusβinfected products or body fluids. Thus, HCV shares with hepatitis B and D (HBV, HDV) viruses this common transmission route. The prevalence of antibody against HCV (antiβHCV) was s
