Comparison of DNA enzyme immunoassay and line probe assays (Inno-LiPA HCV I and II) for hepatitis C virus genotyping.
Two methods for genotyping hepatitis C virus (DNA enzyme immunoassay [DEIA] and line probe assay [Inno-LiPA HCV I and II]) were compared on 120 samples and of these 87% were assigned to the same subtype by both assays. There were 15 subtyping discrepancies which involved 5% of type 1 isolates and 90% of type 2 isolates. Amplified products from the core and 5' untranslated regions (UTR) were seq...
متن کاملImprovement of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype determination with the new version of the INNO-LiPA HCV assay.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates have been classified into six main genotypes. Genotyping methods, and especially the widely used line probe assay (LiPA), are frequently based on the 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR). However, this region is not appropriate for discriminating HCV strains at the subtype level and for distinguishing many genotype 6 samples from genotype 1. We investigated the capaci...
متن کاملSecond-generation line probe assay for hepatitis C virus genotyping.
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 as...
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 کاملdevelopment and application of an in-house line probe assay for hepatitis c virus genotyping
background hepatitis c virus (hcv) is the major cause of chronic liver disease. hcv is a single stranded positive sense rna of approximately 9.6 kb. because of high conservativeness of 5΄untranslated region of hcv genome, it is widely used for virus genotyping. different methods are used for the virus genotyping, but all involve some difficulties. objectives the aim of the present study was to ...
