## Abstract A quantitative real‐time 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 HCV‐infected Huh7.5 cells. The method is indirectly calibrated
Group I and II hepatitis C virus genotypes were determined by a newly developed serological genotyping assay. This assay detected antibodies against group-specific recombinant proteins in the putative NS4 pro\*in region (amino acid no. 1676-1760) by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This region
## Abstract There are eight genotypes of HBV designated A to H based on greater than 8% nucleotide variation over the entire genome. Hepadnaviruses infecting primates like the chimpanzee, orangutan and gibbon are very similar and can be regarded as genotypes of HBV. The eight genotypes of HBV show
