The HCV genome also encodes several non-structural proteins known as NS1-5(a/b). NS3-5 are commonly used together as antigens in immunoassays for the detection of anti-HCV in patient blood samples [5]. For these assays, the antigens are used to capture the patient’s antibodies that ...

Figure 1. The abnormal hepatitis B serology was unexpected, as prior to transplant, serology and HBV DNA testing of both donor and recipient were negative, and his sibling donor underwent repeat negative testing when donor lymphocytes were harvested post-transplant. In addition, he had been intensi...

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) disproportionately affects people who inject drugs, migrants, prisoners and the homeless. An integrated, peer-led model of care involving primary and secondary care is required to enhance the identification and treatment of HCV in
