Abstract excerpt
The correlation between 3 assays for hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA quantification and their respective accuracy in predicting the response to interferon and interferon/ribavirin therapy was evaluated by analysing pre-treatment sera from 100 patients. A total of 97%, 100%, and 98% of the patients tested positive by the branched DNA 2.0 assay (Quantiplex), a multi-cycle reversed transcriptase polymerase chain...
