Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes (groups I and II) were determined by a newly developed C14 assay in which antibodies against group-specific recombinant proteins of the NS4 region were measured by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The genotypes determined by the C14 assay were compared to those determined by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 50 patients. The HCV genotypes determined by both methods...
