A novel, sensitive, and specific RT‐PCR technique for quantitation of hepatitis C virus replication
19 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
The detection of negative-strand hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is a hallmark of replication. A highly sensitive and specific method is required to quantify the very low level of replication inherent to in vitro infection systems. Based on reverse transcription with a tagged primer in the 5' non-coding region of the HCV genome, followed by a nested PCR with a second round of real-time PCR, a novel method is...
