Hepatitis C virus RNA quantitation in venous and capillary small-volume whole-blood samples.
Quantitation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in plasma and serum samples is a costly procedure in both time and reagents. Additionally, cell-associated viral RNA may not be detected. This study evaluated the accuracy of HCV RNA quantitation in small-volume whole-blood (WB) samples, which would be appropriate for point-of-care diagnostic devices. HCV RNA was extracted from 222 clinical plasma and...
متن کاملFully automated detection of hepatitis C virus RNA in serum and whole-blood samples.
In this study, we established a fully automated molecular assay for qualitative detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in serum and whole-blood samples and compared it with conventional molecular assays, including manual HCV RNA extraction protocols. Whole-blood samples were collected from patients with and without chronic HCV infection in EDTA tubes and nucleic acid stabilization tubes (NASTs). ...

متن کاملHepatitis C virus infection and genotypes in blood donors
Abstract: Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for designing therapeutic strategies and regional specific diagnostic assays. The aim of this study was to identify the HCV genotypes in HCV infected blood donors. This is the first report on HCV genotypes in blood donors in Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 103 blood donors with hepatitis C were investigated for HCV genotype...
