## Abstract The ability of the total hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen assay was evaluated for monitoring the therapeutic responses of HCV‐infected patients treated with interferon. The ability to detect and quantitate an independent structural protein component of HCV, in the presence of circul
Hemodialysis patients are recognized as a group at high risk of infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Therefore, such a population should be screened routinely for the presence of HCV viremia. Since nucleic acid techniques remain expensive and largely unavailable in many laboratories in the develo
## Abstract A new, sensitive enzyme immunoassay has been developed for detecting and quantifying total hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen in anti‐HCV positive or negative sera (“__trak__‐__C__™”, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance o
We examined sequential serum samples from 12 patients with well-characterized posttransfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis who had an acute, resolving self-limited type of clinical course for the presence of antibody to the hepatitis C virus nucleocapsid (core) protein (p22) expressed by a recombinant bac
