Molecular Cloning and Sequence of the HCV NS1 Genomic Region
Abstract: The NS1 genomic region of the hepatitis C virus(HCV),derived from the serum of a patient withchronic NANB hepetitis in Guangdong province,was cloned and sequenced.HCV RNA extracted bythe powder-adsorption procedure was converted to cDNA by everse transcription with random primer.Polymerase chain reaction was performed with the primers which span the NS1 region,The amplifiedproducts were separated by electrophoresis on a low melting-point agarose gel and a portion of gel,cor-respondlng to the expected size,w...
