Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The aim of the present study was to investigate the variability of hepatitis C virus (HCV) CD81 binding regions (CD81-1/2) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)-derived and serum-derived HCV-RNA samples. HCV-RNA was isolated from PBMC (10⁴ cells) and serum samples from 37 patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 1a/1b (n=21/16). The hypervariable regions 1/2 (amino acid 384-410, amino...
