WHO International Standards for nucleic acid tests are used widely to compare the different assays used in HCV RNA quantitation. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the international unit standard for measuring HCV RNA in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) i

Detection and quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels by using the standardized qualitative Amplicor™ HCV and quantitative Amplicor HCV Monitor™ assays (Roche Molecular Systems) were evaluated in 48 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon. Results were compared with an
## Abstract The use of two new assays was evaluated for predicting the response to interferon (IFN) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The genotype of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was establishe by an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay based on genotype‐specific recombinant peptides of the NS4
