Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is characterized by a high degree of nucleotide sequence variability between genotypes. This variability extends to functional and immunological determinants. Serological tests using antigenic segments derived from the HCV polyprotein have been used for the diagnosis of HCV infection. However, available diagnostic Kits do not necessarily take type variability into consideration and are not optimized for HCV genotype 4a (HCV4a), the predominant genotype in Egypt.
