Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide (nt) sequence heterogeneity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome derived from a single carrier was investigated. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product of 311 bp in the putative nonstructural protein 5-encoding region was directly sequenced, while part of a PCR product was cloned, and sequence analyses were carried out for 27 independent clones. Although 14 of the 27 clones were conserved, ten...
