Three PCR methods based on the GB virus-C/ hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) 5ЈUTR and NS3 genomic region were used for the detection of GBV-C/HGV RNA in serum of 62 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Ten of 62 (16%) patients were found to have GBV-C/ HGV RNA, which was confirmed b

## Abstract A protocol was developed for a highly sensitive detection of viral RNA in blood specimens by reverse transcription coupled with a nested poly‐merase chain reaction. Using Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) as a model, the optimized reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (ORTPCR)
An application of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to the direct detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viremia is described. The amplification of specific HIV-1 sequences of gag and env viral genes was carried out after the reverse-transcription of plasma samples (plasma RT-PCR
## Abstract ## Background A sensitive method for detecting minimal residual disease in the peritoneal cavity by quantifying carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA using real-time quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RQ-RT–PCR) was developed. The clinical value of the method f
GBV-C might be a causative agent of fulminant hepatitis of unknown etiology. Fulminant hepatitis is an indication for liver transplantation. However, in Japan, because of the legal difficulties associated with cadaveric donation, patients with fulminant hepatitis are still treated by plasmapheresis
