## Abstract The presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in serum and liver tissue was examined in seven patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), using the reverse transcriptaseβpolymerase chain reaction method with primers for the 5β²βnoncoding region. Plusβstrand HCVβRNA was detected in the se
The combination of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction is a very powerful tool for the detection of hepatitis C virus RNA in sera of patients with hepatitis C virus infection. However, when studying the presence of this virus in tissue using polymerase chain reaction, it may be diffi
Studies aimed at correlating the intrahepatic hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA level and anatomo-clinical features have been difficult because of sensitivity and specificity shortcomings of available techniques. We titered the genomic- and minus-strand HCV RNAs by a strand-specific, semiquantitative, gen
The states of hepatitis B virus DNA, RNA transcripts and antigens (HBsAg and HBcAg) were studied in the liver with hepatocellular carcinoma by blot hybridization and immunohistological methods. We used whole hepatitis B virus DNA and gene specific probes (S, C and X genes) for hybridization. Integra
