TABLE 1.
Comparison of HC02 and HC03 serotyping assays with a panel of 22 control samples previously genotyped with InnoLiPA HCVII
| Assay | No. of samples positive for serotypea:
|
Total no. of samples (n = 22) | Sen/Spe (%)b | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (n = 11) | 2 (n = 3) | 3 (n = 7) | 2a-c/4 (n = 1) | |||
| HC02 | 9 | 0 | 5 | (1)c | 15 | 68.2/93.3 |
| HC03 | 9 | 1 | 6 | (1)c | 17 | 77.3/94.1 |
a
n, number positive for serotype by INNO-LiPA HCVII genotyping.
b
Sensitivity (Sen) and specificity (Spe) of HC02 or HC03 compared to genotyping.
c
Sample with a mixed genotype 2a-c plus 4 was detected as serotype 2 by both HC02 and HC03.
