Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and its therapy is based on qualitative and quantitative measurement of HCV RNA. OBJECTIVES: A new assay that employs automated specimen extraction and real-time RT-PCR (COBAS Ampliprep/COBAS TaqMan, "CAP/CTM", Roche Diagnostics, Pleasanton, USA) was designed for linear quantification and highly sensitive detection of HCV RNA. STUDY DESIGN: The...
