Journal ArticleDOI
Abbott RealTime Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HCV Assays for Prediction of Sustained Virological Response to Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
Kentaro Matsuura,Yasuhito Tanaka,Izumi Hasegawa,Tomoyoshi Ohno,Hiroshi Tokuda,Fuat Kurbanov,Fuminaka Sugauchi,Shunsuke Nojiri,Takashi Joh,Masashi Mizokami +9 more
TL;DR: HCV RNA tests using ART and CAP/CTM are considered to be more effective at predicting SVR than CAM, and the PPV for SVR was slightly higher in CAP/ CTM than in ART.
Journal ArticleDOI
An infectious and selectable full-length replicon system with hepatitis C virus JFH-1 strain.

TL;DR: The hepatitis C virus strain JFH‐1 was cloned from a patient with fulminant hepatitis and an infectious, selectable HCV replicon containing full‐length JFH-1 cDNA was constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anis Khan,Yasuhito Tanaka,Fuat Kurbanov,Abeer Elkady,Zaigham Abbas,Zahid Azam,Amna Subhan,Sajjad Razza,Saeed Hamid,Wasim Jafri,James W. K. Shih,Ningshao Xia,Kazuaki Takahashi,Shunji Mishiro,Masashi Mizokami +14 more
TL;DR: The limited sensitivity of available assay (Abbott anti‐HEV EIA) may be a concern in HEV diagnosis in Pakistan, and the dissemination of the variant strains to other areas of Pakistan may lead to explosive HEV outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of two Real‐Time RT‐PCR assays for quantitation of hepatitis C virus RNA: Evaluation on HCV genotypes 1–4
Abeer Elkady,Yasuhito Tanaka,Fuat Kurbanov,Fuminaka Sugauchi,Masaya Sugiyama,Anis Khan,Elsayed Mostafa Ali,Layla Mouhamed,Sahar Abou el-fetouh,AbdEl-Rahaman AbdEl-Hameed,Masashi Mizokami +10 more
TL;DR: Two real‐time detection reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) assays had a high efficiency and accuracy for quantitation of HCV RNA of genotypes 2a, 2b, and 3a, but the mean values ofHCV RNA differed for genotype 1b and 4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mayumi Sakurai,Fuminaka Sugauchi,Naoky Tsai,Seiji Suzuki,Izumi Hasegawa,Kei Fujiwara,Etsuro Orito,Ryuzo Ueda,Masashi Mizokami +8 more
TL;DR: Genotypes A, B and C are predominant types among multi-ethnic HBV carriers in Hawaii, and distribution of HBV genotypes is dependent on the ethnic background of the carriers inHawaii.
