Performance of the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II RUO assay.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II RUO (research use only) assay was evaluated using the automated Abbott RealTime m2000 system. Concordance was 98% (81/83 samples) with samples previously typed by the Versant HCV Genotype 2.0 RUO system with manual extraction. The total assay time was reduced from 10.5 to 6.0 h and hands-on time from 13 to 4 min/patient sample.

Characterization of Samples Identified as Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 without Subtype by Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II Assay Using the New Abbott HCV Genotype Plus RUO Test
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping continues to be relevant for therapeutic strategies. Some samples are reported as genotype 1 (gt 1) without subtype by the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II (GT II) test. To characterize such samples further, the Abbott HCV Genotype Plus RUO (Plus) assay, which targets the core region for gt 1a, gt 1b, and gt 6 detection, was evaluated as a reflex test in refere...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II for hepatitis C virus genotyping.
BACKGROUND The Abbott RealTime hepatitis C virus (HCV) Genotype II (Abbott Molecular Inc.) for HCV genotyping, which uses real-time PCR technology, has recently been developed. METHODS Accuracy and sensitivity of detection were assessed using the HCV RNA PHW202 performance panel (SeraCare Life Sciences). Consistency with restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP) data, cross-reactivity wit...

We evaluated the Abbott RealTime (ART) and Roche Cobas TaqMan Hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load assays for quantification of HCV genotypes in patient specimens. The ART HCV assay was a more sensitive and precise tool for accurate HCV viral load quantification across the HCV genotypes tested, especially genotype 1b.
متن کاملEvaluation of the Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II kit
The Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II kit is designed for use in the transcription and amplification of the 5’UTR or NS5B regions of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome. RealTime-PCR amplification is conducted in three separate reaction mixtures with different fluorophores where genotypespecific probes are used to detect HCV genotypes 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 such that: • Reaction A detects all...
