Abstract excerpt
Drawbacks of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA detection in paraffin-embedded liver tissue have satisfactorily been solved by RT-PCR amplification of the 5'non-coding region (5'NCR). However, detection of this highly conserved region does not provide information on epidemiological or pathogenetic aspects of HCV infection. This study explores whether other functionally important genetic regions of HCV, such as the...
