Published in Hepatitis Weekly, October 9th, 1995
According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Journal of Medical Virology, "Two rapid genotyping methods for hepatitis C virus (HCV), the line probe assay (Inno-LiPA) and the subtype-specific core amplification system [Okamoto et al., (1992b) Journal of General Virology 73:673-679], were applied to 58 HCV isolates which were typed as type 1 (n=37) acid type 2 (n=21) by sequence analysis of the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR). The line probe assay targets the 5'UTR and recognized 12 subtype 1a, 25 subtype 1b, 18 subtype 2a, 2 subtype 2b and 1 subtype 2d in accordance with sequence analysis of this region. Subtype-specific core amplification revealed 7 discrepancies among...
