The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been utilized for the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and several factors related to the selection of primer pairs for the PCR amplification have been demonstrated. The sensitivity of the PCR assay was compared with that of slot-blot hybrid

## Abstract Serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA was assayed using polymerase chain reaction, in 107 HBsAgβnegative normal Chinese subjects. The results showed that eight subjects (7.5%) had HBV DNA. In the subgroup with antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (antiβHBs) and to hepatitis B core antige
The presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been evaluated in liver specimens from 11 children with primary liver tumors and negative results of serologic testing for HBV markers. HBV-DNA sequences were detected by the polymerase chain reaction procedure, using different sets of oligonucleotide prim
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
