Full-Length Complementary DNA of Hepatitis C Virus Genome From
an Infectious Blood Sample
Fig. 1. Clinical characteristics of
the recipient. The profiles of ALT values (IU/L) and anti-HCV
antibody (C-100 and p-22) titers in the recipient from March 1988
to September 1991 are shown. Open squares indicate the periods of
blood transfusion (BT) and IFN treatment (IFN- ). HCV RNA titer was measured by use of
competitive PCR.24 HCV RNA, whose titer was less than
103, was detected by using RT-nested PCR of the 5'
noncoding region.25 Arrows denote the times when plasma
specimens were obtained for analysis of HCV RNA.
