Abstract excerpt

AIM: To understand how interactions between hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the host's immune system might lead to viral persistence or effective elimination of HCV. METHODS: Nucleotides 3519-3935 of the non-structural 3 (NS3) region were amplified by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR products of the HCV NS3 regions were integrated into a PCR((R)) T7TOPO((R)) TA vector and then...
