Description
This kit determines HCV genotypes by simply electrophoresing HCV core region genes of type-specific sequence length amplified by Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Reaction (RT-PCR) and features accurate and simple determination of HCV genotypes. Study of nucleotide sequence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has brought to light many of its variants, and reports on its grouping in 5 major genotypes as determined by respective genomic sequences in a fairly well conserved portion as well as geographic locality of each subtype have subsequently been made.Genotyping of HCV is now considered to be clinically helpful in pinning and tracking down the source and route of its infection and will be instrumental in further elucidation of the virus.
Recent report also suggests difference in resistance against therapy and course of the disease of each viral subtype predicting the therapeutic significance of its genotyping.
This kit is developed for genotyping HCV in 5 groups, types I(1a), II (1b), III (2a), IV (2b), and V (3a), determined by Okamoto, et al according to genomic sequences in its core region.
Featurse: This kit determines HCV genotypes by simply electrophoresing HCV core region genes of type-specific sequencelength amplified by Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Reaction (RT-PCR) and features accurate and simple determination of HCV genotypes.
