Abstract excerpt
Genetic heterogeneity is a characteristic feature of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and it reflects selection mechanisms affecting the virus. It is considered a major factor contributing the viral persistence and drug resistance. The following work presents the preliminary results of 5'UTR and E2/HVR1 genetic variation analysis and comparison in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 7 patients before...
