Abstract excerpt
Follow-up of chronically infected HCV patients is the primary clinical goal in therapy administration. In the absence of an HCV vaccine, the timely monitoring of HCV viral load combined with the information of the viral genotype could contribute to patient disease management. A LightCycler Real Time RT-PCR assay was developed and optimized allowing rapid and accurate quantification of HCV RNA over an extended...
