Serial serum samples were obtained over a 27-year period from a hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patient and from a nurse who appeared to become infected by this patient. The hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) and 5'noncoding region (5'NCR) of the HCV genome were amplified from each serum sample by polym
## Abstract The hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) has been most reliably identified in the genome of HCV genotype 1 isolates and thought to possibly play a role in immune evasion and development of chronic infection. There are few studies, however, of other HCV genotypes to determine if they also have
Second-generation assays for detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that include reactivity of antibodies to core, NS3, NS4 are used because of their high sensitivity. Among these antibodies, anti-core antibody seems to be the most sensitive. However, there are some patients without anti-cor
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV), exhibits considerable genetic diversity, but presents a relatively well conserved 5β² noncoding region (5β² NCR) among all genotypes. In this study, the structural features and translational efficiency of the HCV 5β² NCR sequences were analyzed using the programs R
