Abstract excerpt
In this study we compared the nucleotide sequence of the 5' NC-region of the HCV genome isolated from seven patients and two blood donors from Southern Germany. We could identify two very distinct groups of isolates: the first very similar to the HCV prototype sequence (HCV1) with homology ranging from 99.5% to 98.7%; the second showing 91.7% homology to the HCV1. Group 1 isolates could be found in five patients...
