Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of hepatitis C virus into six major genotypes and a series of subtypes by phylogenetic analysis of the NS-5 region
Peter Simmonds,Edward C. Holmes,Tai-An Cha,Shiu-Wan Chan,F. McOmish,Irvine Bruce,Beall Eileen,P L Yap,Janice A. Kolberg,Mickey S. Urdea +9 more
TL;DR: A new nomenclature for HCV variants is proposed in this communication that reflects the two-tiered nature of sequence differences between different viral isolates and describes criteria that would enable new variants to be assigned within the classification as they are discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
At least five related, but distinct, hepatitis C viral genotypes exist.
TL;DR: Five distinct, but related, genotypes (I-V) are noted throughout the world, based on detailed sequence determination and analysis of the first 1700 nucleotides and part of the nonstructural region 5 at the C terminus of the open reading frame.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a signature nucleotide sequence of hepatitis C virus for detection of viral RNA in human serum and plasma.
Tai-An Cha,Janice A. Kolberg,Irvine Bruce,Michelle M. Stempien,Beall Eileen,M Yano,Q L Choo,Michael Houghton,G. Kuo,Jang Han +9 more
TL;DR: Although the clinical significance of the presence or absence of HCV RNA in samples from patients is not fully understood, the use of probes and primers from the 5PUT region should not lead to false-negative results due to nucleic acid sequence variations in viral isolates.
Patent
HCV genomic sequences for diagnostics and therapeutics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present nucleic acid, peptide and antibody compositions relating to genotypes of hepatitis C virus and methods of using such compositions for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of hepatitis C virus markers in patients with NANB hepatitis
Hiroshi Yatsuhashi,Osami Inoue,Michiaki Koga,Shigenobu Nagataki,Kyousuke Mizuno,Janice A. Kolberg,Beall Eileen,Tai-An Cha,Irvine Bruce,George Kuo,Mickey S. Urdea,Michitami Yano +11 more
TL;DR: 10 different HCV-specific assays and RT-PCR of the 5' untranslated region of HCV RNA were used to analyze sixty-four patients with chronic NANB liver disease suggesting the need for improved blood screening assays.
