Characterization of the genomic sequence of type V (or 3a) hepatitis C virus isolates and PCR primers for specific detection
1 Nov 1993
Abstract excerpt
We have identified four new hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates whose genomic RNA could be amplified by PCR using primers from the 5' untranslated region (UTR), but the RNA could not be detected with genotype I to IV (or types 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b respectively)-specific core region-derived primers. We compared the nucleotide sequences of the new isolates from positions 65 to 1850 (3' end of 5' UTR, C, E1 and 5' end of...
