Analysis of hepatitis C virus quasispecies populations by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) forms complex quasispecies populations which consist of a large number of closely related genetic variants. This genetic heterogeneity may cause antigenic variation or drug resistance. We used heteroduplex analysis by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) to characterize genetic variants of HCV. The high resolution of TGGE was proven by comparison of DNA sequen...
متن کاملDiversity of hepatitis C virus quasispecies evaluated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis.
Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used to study the diversity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies. Optimized DGGE running conditions were applied to screen for variations in sequences cloned from amplicons originating from the nonstructural 5b (NS5b) gene of HCV in blood of hemophilia patients, intravenous drug users, and blood donors (five specimens from each study group, ...
متن کاملGenotyping hepatitis C virus by heteroduplex mobility analysis using temperature gradient capillary electrophoresis.
The genotype of the infecting hepatitis C virus (HCV) helps determine the patient's prognosis and the duration of treatment. Heteroduplex mobility analysis (HMA) is a rapid, inexpensive method for genotyping of HCV that does not require sequencing. We developed an HMA that uses temperature gradient capillary electrophoresis (TGCE) to differentiate HCV genotypes. A 56-bp region of the HCV 5' unt...
متن کاملCharacterization of wine yeasts by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE).
18S rDNA from 74 wine yeast strains was amplified by PCR using specific primers, and the products analyzed by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE). TGGE is a useful method in screening the genotypes of the wine yeasts. Intraspecific differentiation was achieved on the basis of TGGE in some cases, whereas in others identical bands for strains classified as separate species were obtain...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus: Viral Quasispecies and Genotypes
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) mainly replicates in the cytoplasm, where it easily establishes persistent infection, resulting in chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Due to its high rate of mutation, HCV forms viral quasispecies, categorized based on the highly variable regions in the envelope protein and nonstructural 5A protein. HCV possesses seven major genotypes, amon...
