Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Methods for the quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA are useful in the clinical management of infected patients. However, the introduction of assays based upon various nucleic acid testing (NAT) technologies, each utilizing a different set of standards, creates the potential for misinterpretation of patient results. OBJECTIVE: In order to address the need for worldwide standardization of...
