Feasibility of Freeze-Dried Sera for Serological and Molecular Biological Detection of Hepatitis B and C Viruses
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: We compared hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen, anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, and HCV RNA quantification in frozen and freeze-dried serum samples to assess the usefulness of freeze-dried sera for detection of HBV and HCV. The results indicated that freeze-dried sera as well as frozen sera can be useful for serological and molecular biological analyses of HBV and HCV.
