Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core serotypes in chronic HCV infection.
Recently, two distinct hepatitis C virus (HCV) serologic types have been identified on the basis of amino acid variations in the core region. The two serologic types can readily discriminate between genotypes I-II-V (serotype 1) and III-IV (serotype 2), according to the Okamoto classification. We compared HCV core serotyping with genotyping with sera from 363 anti-HCV-positive patients (309 HCV...

متن کاملDetection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) core-specific antibody suggests occult HCV infection among blood donors.
BACKGROUND Blood transfusion safety is based on reliable donor screening for transmissible infections such as the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A novel HCV core-specific antibody was assayed on random single donations from 2007 first-time blood donors who tested negative for anti-HCV and HCV RNA on routine screening. Sample collection broke the code between donat...
