Approximately 90% of subjects with chronic hepatitis resulting from hepatitis C virus infection have hepatitis C virus RNA in serum. However, the prevalence of hepatitis C virus RNA in serum from subjects with hepatitis C virus antibody associated with persistent normal liver biochemical values is u

The genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was investigated in 212 viraemic blood donors from Hong Kong. A subset of the samples was investigated using three different genotyping assays to establish the accuracy of each i n this population. These assays were restriction fragment length pol
## Abstract The low specificity of screening ELISAs for antibodies to hepatitis C virus in blood donors has called for confirmatory tests. Two types of supplementary antibody assays are available, recombinant immunoblot assays (RIBAβ1 and RIBAβ2) and an antibody consumption test referred to as a ne
