Abstract excerpt
Amino-acid substitution at positions 70 and 91 of the hepatitis C virus (HCV)-1b core region is a factor that contributes to a non-virological response in treatment using interferon/ribavirin combination. In this study, a system was developed for detection of nucleotide sequence variation in the core region that is simpler and less expensive than the current direct sequencing method. A PCR detection method using...
