Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is currently classified into 6 major types, HCV-1 through -6, each of which can be further divided into a few subtypes, e.g., HCV-1a, -1b, -1c, etc., on the basis of sequence variation of the viral genome. The core and E1 envelope regions of HCV genome were amplified from sera of Indonesian patients using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Sequence analysis of both core and...
