Abstract
An immunohistochemical method of staining HCV-related antigens in fixed-embedded liver biopsies is described. Two primary antisera were used: 1) a high titre anti-HCV human IgG separated from an anti-HCV positive serum; and 2) rabbit anti-HCV antibodies. In our experience this method proves to be reproducible and shows a good correlation with serologic results.
