Second-generation line probe assay for hepatitis C virus genotyping
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
Because of the enormous variability of hepatitis C virus (HCV), the development of reliable genotyping assays is a formidable challenge. The optimal genotyping region appears to be the 5' untranslated region (UR) because of high conservation within, but considerable variability between, genotypes. In this study, 21 probes dispersed over seven variable 5' UR areas were applied to a line probe assay (LiPA) and used...
