## Abstract Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) represent an extrahepatic hepatitis C virus (HCV) reservoir, the significance of which is unclear due to limited studies and varying test methodologies. In this study, a commercial viral load assay for measuring cellβassociated PBMC HCV RNA was

## Abstract The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to investigate the presence of positive and negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA strands in serumand peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 20 patients with histologically proven HCVβ related chronic liver disease. All patients complete
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) requires reverse transcriptaseβpolymerase chain reaction (RTβPCR) or branched DNA signal amplification assays to be detected in patient samples. Although conventional methods of RNA isolation are employed for samples of serum, plasma, and peripheral blood mononuc
Fifty-two patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection were treated with standard doses of interferon alfa-2b. During treatment, HCV RNA detection was studied in samples of whole blood (WB), plasma (Pl), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Individuals were classified as sustai
