摘要
目的:了解新疆两城市丙型肝炎病毒感染者中存在哪些基因型,以便为今后防治HCV感染提供依据。方法:用RT-PCR技术,选择HCVNS-5区设计的分型引物(1a、1b、2a和2b)进行基因分型。结果:我们检测了128例(乌鲁木齐市97例,克拉玛依市31例)已证实为丙型肝炎病毒感染者的血清,其中基因分型检测出的98例中可分为1a型14例(14.3%)、1b型58例(59.3%)、2a型11例(11.8%)、2b型10例(10.3%),混合感染5例(5.2%)(1a+1b型4例,1b+2a型1例)。在乌鲁木齐市和克拉玛依市的HCV感染者中1a型分别为11/73例和3/25例,1b型分别为46/73例和12/25例。结论:表明新疆至少存在HCV1a、1b、2a和2b基因型,但以1b基因型感染为主。比较乌鲁木齐市和克拉玛依市两城市的HCV基因型分布显示1a型和1b型分布有明显差别(χ2=36,P<0.001)。另30例用本方法未能检出分型。
Objective: It is designed to analyse which HCV genotypes are more prevalent in Xinjiang in order to prevent and treat HCV infection approximately. Methods: We detected HCV genotypes of serum from the patients with post blood transfusion HCV infection in Urumqi and Kelamayi cities of Xinjiang, with RT PCR and type specific primer assay (1a,1b,2a and 2b) based on the HCV gene sequence of non structural region 5 (NS 5). Results: The results of the study showed that 98 out of 128 serum samples from the patients with HCV infection were genotype positive. The genotypes in two cities were 1a (14), 1b(58), 2a(11), 2b(10) and mixed infection (5) respectively. The genotypes 1a and 1b were 11/73(15.1%) and 46/73(63.2%) in Urumqi city, while 3/25(12.1%) and 12/25(48.5%) in Kelamayi city. The mixed infection of genotypes as 1a+1b and 1b+2a were 2/73(2.8%) and 0/73 in Urumqi city, and 2/25(8%) and 1/25(4%) in Kelamayi respectively. Other 30 serum samples couldn't be detected by this assay. Conclusions: This study showed that there were at least four HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b in Xinjiang, but the prevalent genotype was 1b. Comparison of the genotypes 1a and 1b in Urumqi with in Kelamayi indicated that the distribution of HCV genotypes 1a and 1b was quite different(χ 2=36, P< 0.001 ), and the mixed genotype infection in two cities was different, too. The genotypes of 30 samples from the patients with HCV infection could not be detected indicating that other genotypes of HCV may exist in Xinjiang.
