Evaluation of the invader assay for genotyping hepatitis C virus.
The Invader 1.0 assay (Invader HCV Genotyping Assay, version 1.0; Third Wave Technologies, Inc., Madison, WI) has been developed for the rapid differentiation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 1 to 6 based on sequence variation within the HCV 5' noncoding (NC) region. In the present study, we evaluated the compatibility of Invader 1.0 with the COBAS MONITOR (COBAS AMPLICOR HCV MONITOR Test, ...
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 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...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Genotyping in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is a massive worldwide healthcare burden with estimated costs in the USA alone of over $5 billon per annum. The virus has a 9.5kb positive sense single-stranded RNA genome with striking heterogeneity between isolates, which has led to it being divided into 6 genotypes and more than 50 subtypes and many quasispecies that has been arisen due to the infidelity o...
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 ...
