Abstract excerpt
Recently, two distinct hepatitis C virus (HCV) serologic types have been identified on the basis of amino acid variations in the core region. The two serologic types can readily discriminate between genotypes I-II-V (serotype 1) and III-IV (serotype 2), according to the Okamoto classification. We compared HCV core serotyping with genotyping with sera from 363 anti-HCV-positive patients (309 HCV RNA positive by...
