Hepatitis C Virus
Recent studies from Switzerland, Canada and Italy add new data to hepatitis C virus research
Published in Genomics and Genetics Weekly, July 21st, 2006
Study 1: Recent research from Switzerland has documented the use of a real-time multiplex PCR assay to quantify hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
"Ultrasensitive methods to measure very low levels of HCV RNA in biological samples may have diagnostic and prognostic significance and be useful to evaluate the response to antiviral treatment. A sensitive assay to quantify HCV RNA in PBMCs was developed and validated using the iCycler iQ Detection System (Bio-Rad) coupled with TaqMan chemistry," wrote P. Pugnale and...
