Abstract

A rapid technique for the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in liver section using noniso‐topic in situ hybridization was described. Only 3 of the 10 patients seropositive for antibody to HCV and HCV RNA had detectable HCV RNA in the hepatocytes (1%, 2%, and 15% of cells positive). No specific signal was detected in sinusoidal, biliary epithelial, and mononuclear cells. The positive hepatocytes were scattered in the liver lobule with occasional clusters. The positive signal was confined to the cytoplasmic compartment. These data support the previous observation of the hepatocyte tropism of HCV. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

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
