Three PCR methods based on the GB virus-C/ hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) 5ЈUTR and NS3 genomic region were used for the detection of GBV-C/HGV RNA in serum of 62 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Ten of 62 (16%) patients were found to have GBV-C/ HGV RNA, which was confirmed b

## Abstract Detection of hepatic hepatitis C virus RNA and antigens is difficult since their expression is very low. The technique of in situ reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (IS‐RT‐PCR) was developed for the detection and localization of HCV RNA in formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded l
The combination of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction is a very powerful tool for the detection of hepatitis C virus RNA in sera of patients with hepatitis C virus infection. However, when studying the presence of this virus in tissue using polymerase chain reaction, it may be diffi
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is known to circulate in vivo as a quasispecies, a population of closely related, but genetically nonidentical virions. HCV reverse transcriptase (RT)-(nested) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategies are used to study quasispecies diversity at certain important viral g
