Abstract excerpt
Detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies is partially influenced by the genotype of the infecting isolate. Immunoassays using genotype-1a-derived recombinants or peptides results in diminished reactivity among individuals infected with heterologous genotypes. We examined the magnitude of this effect on detection of core antibodies by using genotype-1a-derived core peptide immunoassays to test 254 HCV...
