Abstract excerpt
Quantitative measurement of serum hepatitis C virus(HCV) RNA is important in predicting and monitoring interferon(IFN) therapy. We compared the sensitivity of HCV RNA measurement of different HCV genotypes between two available assays, Roche Monitor 1.0(v1.0) and Roche Monitor 2.0(v2.0). We also evaluated serum level of HCV RNA as the predictors of a long-term response to IFN therapy by distinguishing the...
