pubmed:abstractText |
Transcription mediated amplification (TMA) is known to be one of the most sensitive detection assays for hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in serum but has not yet been evaluated in liver tissue. It is unknown whether the higher sensitivity of TMA in comparison with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays is related to a higher efficiency of the extraction and/or amplification step.
