Multilaboratory comparison of hepatitis C virus viral load assays.
We report a multilaboratory evaluation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load assays to determine their linear range, reproducibility, subtype detection, and agreement. A panel of HCV RNA samples ranging in nominal concentration from 1.0 to 7.0 log10 IU/ml was constructed by diluting a clinical specimen (genotype 1b). Replicates of the panel were tested in multiple laboratories using the Abbott ...
متن کاملviral load analysis of hepatitis c virus in huh7.5 cell culture system
background previous studies using cell culture systems for the replication of hepatitis c virus have opened new research dimensions, and paved the ways for further and detailed studies of the virus in vitro. objectives the purpose of the present study was to cultivate hepatitis c virus in a cell culture system and evaluate viral amplification. materials and methods in order to propagate hepatit...
متن کاملhepatitis c virus genotypes and association with viral load in yazd, central province of iran
conclusions findings of the present study showed that hcv genotype 3 was the predominant genotype followed by the subtypes 1a and 1b in yazd, central province of iran. in addition, there was no difference between hcv load and genotypes 1 and 3. hcv genotyping is recommended in other provinces of iran. objectives the main aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hcv genotypes in yazd,...
متن کاملGenotype dependence of hepatitis C virus load measurement in commercially available quantitative assays.
Standardization and genotype independence of methods used to quantify hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in clinical specimens are necessary for accurate assessment of the role of HCV quantitation as a prognostic marker for HCV infection and monitoring of the response to antiviral treatment. Commercially available methods used to measure HCV loads include PCR-based (Roche Monitor) and hybridization-ba...
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...
