Abstract
The noncoding region, containing at least 324 nucleotides, of the 5' terminus of non-A, non-B hepatitis virus is disclosed. Also disclosed is the nucleotide sequence of the structural gene which is upstream of the noncoding region. Oligonucleotide primers derived from these regions can be used to to detect non-A, non-B hepatitis virus.
