Correlation of Viral Loads as Determined by X-Tail RT-PCR (x-Axis) and bDNA (y-Axis)
Genotypes and numbers of samples (n) are given in the bottom right corner of each panel. Pearson's bivariate correlation coefficients were 0.92, 0.85, 0.95, 0.91, 0.95, and 0.96 for HCV genotypes 1 to 6, respectively. The dashed lines represent ideal correlations. Genotype 5, 0.07/0.31; and genotype 6, 0.12/0.19.
