IN SITU ENZYMATIC OLIGONUCLEOTIDE AMPLIFICATION OF HEPATITIS C VIRUS-RNA IN LIVER BIOPSY SPECIMENS (REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE IN SITU POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION) AFTER ORTHOTOPIC LIVER TRANSPLANTATION FOR HEPATITIS C-RELATED LIVER DISEASE

Abstract

Our findings indicate that the HCV in situ RT-PCR assay may be helpful in the differentiation of recurrent hepatitis C disease from rejection. This may further help in the adjustment of immunosuppression.
