The recently identified hepatitis G virus (HGV, also named GB virus-C, GBV-C) appears to have similarities to hepatitis C virus and other flaviviridae. To better understand its clinical significance and hepatotropism, we collected liver tissue and matched serum samples from 56 patients undergoing li

Localization of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was investigated by non-radioactive in situ hybridization in human liver specimens of chronic non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis patients who were seropositive for antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV). For in situ hybridization, T-T dimerized synthetic oligodeoxynucleo
The aim of this work was to study the presence of the hepatitis GB virus type C (HGBV-C) in liver and serum samples of children with chronic viral hepatitis, the time course of changes in viral RNA, and the possible acquisition routes of infection. Frozen serum and liver samples from 58 children wit
## Abstract To determine the effect of interferon‐α (IFN) therapy on hepatitis C virus (HCV) in liver, reverse transcription “nested” polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) was applied to detect HCV RNA in formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded liver biopsy specimens obtained before and at the end of IFN th
