Versant HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay (LiPA) in Hepatitis C Virus Genotype Determination Testul Versant HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay (LiPA) în determinarea genotipurilor virusului hepatitic de tip C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, the prevalence of the infection being currently estimated at approximately 170 milion persons worldwide. HCV isolates have been classified into six main genotypes. Quick and accurate genotyping of HCV is becoming increasingly important for clinical management of chronic infection and as an epidemiological marker. Genotyping meth...
متن کاملSequencing assays for failed genotyping with the versant hepatitis C virus genotype assay (LiPA), version 2.0.
For optimal antiviral therapy, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype needs to be determined, as it remains a strong predictor of sustained viral response. In this study, we assessed the number of HCV genotyping results that could not be determined using the commercially available line probe assay (LiPA) (Versant hepatitis C virus genotype 2.0 assay) in a large international panel of samples from...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Siemens VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay (LiPA)
Introduction The VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 Assay (LiPA) is a line probe assay for the identification of HCV genotypes and differentiation of HCV subtypes in HCV RNA positive human serum or EDTA plasma specimens. The assay is intended to be used to guide the selection of treatment type and duration for individuals being considered for antiviral treatment and who are chronically infected with HCV....
متن کاملEvaluation of Versant hepatitis C virus genotype assay (LiPA) 2.0.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping is a tool used to optimize antiviral treatment regimens. The newly developed Versant HCV genotype assay (LiPA) 2.0 uses sequence information from both the 5' untranslated region and the core region, allowing distinction between HCV genotype 1 and subtypes c to l of genotype 6 and between subtypes a and b of genotype 1. HCV-positive samples were genotyped manua...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Abbott Real Time HCV genotype II assay for Hepatitis C virus genotyping
OBJECTIVE The determination of HCV genotypes and subtypes is very important for the selection of antiviral therapy and epidemiological studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of Abbott Real Time HCV Genotype II assay in HCV genotyping of HCV infected patients in Kayseri, Turkey. METHODS One hundred patients with chronic hepatitis C admitted to our hospital were evaluate...
