Abstract excerpt
The detection of serum HCV-RNA needs to be standardized. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the branched DNA amplification method in detecting and quantitating serum HCV-RNA in 54 blood donors, 33 with and 21 without increased serum alanine aminotransferase levels and with detectable serum HCV-RNA by polymerase chain reaction. HCV-RNA was detected by branched DNA signal amplification in...
