Abstract excerpt
To clarify the relationship between hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes and liver disease, we typed HCV genomes in the sera of 151 blood donors, 180 patients with type C chronic liver disease (CLD), and 30 haemophiliacs residing in Hiroshima, Japan. All of the subjects were positive for anti-HCV and HCV-RNA, and were examined for seroreactivity to HCV-specific antigens. The HCV genotypes were determined by...
