Quantitative measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA has become important in the clinical diagnosis of patients with chronic hepatitis B, especially in patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative precore mutant and in patients who received treatment with interferon or antiviral agents.

## Abstract The branched DNA (bDNA) assay was compared with a semi‐quantitative cDNA‐polymerase chain reaction (cDNA‐PCR) assay for monitoring HCV RNA levels in plasma in 17 haemophilia patients participating in a controlled a‐interferon trial. Good correlation between the HCV RNA levels as detecte
Quantitative measurement of serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is important in predicting and monitoring the therapeutic effects of interferon in treating patients with chronic hepatitis C. We compared two commercial available assays, Roche Amplicor HCV Monitor test kits and Chiron branched DNA signa
Various assays are available for quantification of DNA in solution, but none has been described that is both sensitive and specific for double-stranded (ds) DNA and features practical properties such as low dye and equipment costs, speed, and highly parallel microplate formats. Here we show that qua
