Abstract excerpt

The immunoreactivity profiles of plasma samples obtained from patients infected with different hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes were studied using immunoblot assay containing multiple HCV antigens. The immunoblot assay was found to be positive in 81.5% of 195 blood donors who had anti-HCV antibo...
