He continued: "HCV is a virus that is likely to resemble HIV in that antiviral drug resistance will become a significant issue as and when new small molecule drugs are licensed. The acquisition of this technology is a powerful tool in support of our commitment to develop resistance genotyping assays that will allow optimal clinical management of HCV patients."
