Abstract
Ninety-six patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied. A second-ge neration recombinant immunoblot assay detected anti-NS4 antibodies sig nificantly more often in patients infected by hepatitis C virus genoty pe 1 than in patients infected by other types. By a third-generation r ecombinant immunoblot assay, the prevalences of the four antibodies me asured did not differ according to the hepatitis C virus genotype.
