title: [An analysis of HCV infection by using recombinant HCV antigen C11 and C7].
abstract: The recombinant protein C11 derived from the C region of HCV genome and C7 derived from the nonstructural region NS3 of the HCV genome were used in ELISA to study 442 cases of liver diseases, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in Beijing District. It was found that HBV infection was more prevalent than HCV infection in this district. Both liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma were more related to the superinfection of HBV and HCV rather than HBV infection alone or HCV infection alone. It is suggested that there may be some interaction between the HBV and HCV to worsen the prognosis of these patients.
