Three oligonucleotide primer combinations selected from the 5' noncoding, the nucleocapsid and the putative nonstructural regions of the hepatitis C virus genome were compared in a nested polymerase chain reaction assay with respect to sensitivity and specificity for the detection of viral RNA in ch
Studies aimed at correlating the intrahepatic hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA level and anatomo-clinical features have been difficult because of sensitivity and specificity shortcomings of available techniques. We titered the genomic- and minus-strand HCV RNAs by a strand-specific, semiquantitative, gen
