Three oligonucleotide primer combinations selected from the 5' noncoding, the nucleocapsid and the putative nonstructural regions of the hepatitis C virus genome were compared in a nested polymerase chain reaction assay with respect to sensitivity and specificity for the detection of viral RNA in ch
## Abstract Interpretation of antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in patients with liver disease is difficult due to falseβpositive reactivity in some conditions. To evaluate the feasibility of HCV in archival material, HCV was sought in formalinβfixed, paraffinβembedded liver biopsy specimens. Nes
Chronic hepatitis frequently occurs after liver transplantation. The role of hepatitis C virus infection in patients after liver transplantation is unknown, although antibodies to HCV are detected in some of these cases. The use of polymerase chain reaction techniques for the detection of hepatitis
