FIRST RESPONSE® HCV-2

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, single-stranded positive sense (9.5 kb) RNA virus belonging to Flaviviridae family. Six major genotypes and a series of HCV subtypes have been identified. Isolated in 1989, HCV is now recognized as the leading cause of transfusion associated non A, non B hepatitis characterized by acute and chronic forms. More than 50% of infected individuals develop severe, life-threatening chronic hepatitis with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Clinical studies show that a significant amount of HCV-infected individuals develop antibodies against the non-structural...
