Abstract: The invention provides novel methods and compositions for amplifying portions of the HCV genome. The nucleic acid sequences set forth as SEQ ID NOS:1-64 derived from HCV cDNA and functional equivalents thereof, kits containing same, and methods employing same, are useful for the identification and characterization of HCV in biological samples.
