Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype is a predictor of response, and guides the duration of antiviral therapy. However, with the exception of HCV genotype 1a, 1b and 2a, a limited number of clones from other genotypes exist. Here we report the optimization of long RT-PCR to generate three overlapping amplicons that span the near full length HCV genome from a panel of HCV genotypes (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, 5a)....
