Of note, nine of the original 70 individuals who met the initial inclusion criteria were found to be polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV). These nine individuals can be divided into two categories: (1) those who yielded a single PCR-positive sample (n 5) ...
Early detection of anti-HCc antibody in acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) by western blot (immunoblot) using a recombinant HCV core protein fragment. Although anti-HCc persisted throughout the course of infection, anti-HCV by EIA converted from negative to positive 20 days after admission and then...
Hepatitis C serology was determined by a second generation ELISA (Ortho Diagnostics) test for HCV antibody, and anti-HCV positive patients were tested for HCV RNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All assays were performed on all subjects. Not only the false-positive VDRL reaction in the ...

antibody pembrolizumab to chemotherapy significantly improved outcomes (pathological complete response [pCR], event-free survival [EFS], and overall survival [OS]) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in the early-stage setting24,25,26and PFS and OS in patients with PD-L1 ...
Detection of hepatitis B virus DNA by polymerase chain reaction in plasma of volunteer blood donors negative for hepatitis B surface antigen. Plasma samples from 206 volunteer blood donors were tested for hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA by dot blot hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ...

The patient had negative test results for hepatitis B antigen, hepatitis C antibody, cryoglobulin, antistreptolysin O, antinuclear antibody, immune complex, and myeloperoxidase-ANCA. Serum complement C3 was mildly decreased, whereas C4 was normal. Laboratory data obtained at admission are summarized in...

COBAS TagMan V2.0 was used as PCR test to measure HBV-DNA in human plasma or serum. Three different ELISA tests had been used to detect HBV antigen and antibody: HBsAg, HBcAb and HBsAb. Results The overall prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was (9.02%), hepatitis B core ...
