Abstract excerpt
AIM: To compare the performance characteristics and clinical application of two different technologies for quantifying serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels. METHODS: HCV RNA was quantified by Amplicor HCV Monitor assay (Amplicor) and Quantiplex HCV RNA 2.0 assay (bDNA-2) in 119 sera from 107 HCV infected patients. RESULTS: Both assays had similar sensitivity (79.4% for Amplicor; 86.0% for bDNA-2), acceptable...
