1. Detection of antibody to hepatitis C virus in prospectively followed transfusion recipients with acute and chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis;Alter;N Engl J Med,1989
2. Development of this Elisa procedure against HCV viral protein, c100-3, showed that hepatitis C is the predominant cause of non-A, non-B hepatitis. Following this, there is now a second generation immunoassays which, in addition to detecting antibodies to c100-3, also recognizes c33c and c22-3 antigens, making them more specific and sensitive
3. Absence of hepatitis C viral RNA from saliva and semen of patients with chronic hepatitis C;Fried;Gastroenterology,1992
4. The authors failed to detect hepatitis C viral RNA using the polymerase chain reaction in nucleic acid extracts of saliva and semen from 14 patients with chronic hepatitis C infection
