FIG. 6.

Line probe assays of plasma, PBMC, and liver 5′ UTRs in patients 4, 19, and 20. The plasma genotype was found in the liver in all cases. The PBMC genotype was detected in the liver in patients 4 and 20. Traces of a third genotype (type 1) not found in plasma or PBMC was detected in the liver of patient 20. In patient 4, 5′-UTR SSCPs are shown for plasma, PBMC, and CD4⁺, CD19⁺, CD14⁺, and CD8⁺ cells. Specific bands observed in PBMC are also observed in CD19⁺ and CD8⁺ fractions and corresponded to the presence of genotype 1.
