Differences in Hypervariable Region 1 Quasispecies of Hepatitis C Virus in Human Serum, Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells, and Liver
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been reported to potentially replicate in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), but direct information on the pathogenic implication of HCV infection in PBMCs is still limited. To investigate this issue, we compared the complexity of HCV quasispecies in serum, PBMCs, and livers of 13 patients with type C chronic liver disease. Hypervariable region 1 (HVR 1) was amplified by...
