A number of different approaches have been used for genotyping hepatitis C virus (HCV). Two simplified methods were evaluated, both of which used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify products from the 5Π non-coding region of HCV: non-isotopic restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) ana

## Abstract A quantitative realβtime PCR assay was developed that detects genomic RNA from reference strains representing the six major genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) with equal sensitivity and accurately measured HCV RNA in JFH1 HCVβinfected Huh7.5 cells. The method is indirectly calibrated
Hemodialysis patients are recognized as a group at high risk of infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Therefore, such a population should be screened routinely for the presence of HCV viremia. Since nucleic acid techniques remain expensive and largely unavailable in many laboratories in the develo
## Abstract A new, sensitive enzyme immunoassay has been developed for detecting and quantifying total hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen in antiβHCV positive or negative sera (β__trak__β__C__β’β, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance o
We performed a case-control study to evaluate the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. A total of 305 newly diagnosed HCC cases (80% males) and 610 subjects (81% males) unaffected by clinically evident hepatic disease admitted to the 2 main hospitals in Bresc
