A pool of murine monoclonal antibodies developed against clOO antigen, a hepatitis C virus-associated protein encoded by the NS3/NS4 virus genome, was used to detect hepatitis C virus in liver biopsy specimens from patients with acute and chronic hepatitis C virus infection. The antigen was present

## Abstract Thyroid dysfunctions are common in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCVβRNA has been detected by reverseβtranscription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in thyroid from HCV infected patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. However, morphological evidence of HCV replicat

We tested serial serum samples for hepatitis C virus RNA from patients undergoing treatment for chronic hepatitis C with interferon-a using an assay that combined reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction. The subjects studied were 20 patients with chronic hepatitis who had serum antibody
Liver biopsy specimens from 58 American patients with chronic type B hepatitis were investigated for the presence and distribution of the hepatitis B core (HBcAg) and surface (HBsAg) antigens by peroxidase-anti-peroxidase techniques. HBsAg was detected in 43 (77%) and HBcAg in 52 (90%) patients. HBc
Tear fluid from 51 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was analyzed for the presence of the hepatitis C RNA to assess the potential role of this fluid in virus transmission. HCV sequences were amplified from sera and tear fluids by nested polymerase chain reaction using primers f
