Abstract

Hepatitis G viral RNA in serum and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and its relation to HCVRNA in patients with clotting disorders. Sheng L, Soumillion A, Peerlinck K, Verslype C, Lin L, van Pelt J, Hess G, Vermylen J, Yap SH. Thromb Haemostas 1997; 77: 868±72.

In this study, the presence of HCV- and HGV-RNAs in serum or plasma (175 patients) and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (133 patients) was investigated in patients with clotting disorders using a sensitive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
