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
Three PCR methods based on the GB virus-C/ hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) 5ΠUTR 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
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
