  1. Parameters of RT-qPCR amplification curves obtained for HAV detection by the RT-qPCR reference method and HAV subgenotyping by RT-qPCR assays. The limit of detection (LOD) has been defined as the lowest amount of HAV detected in the three experiments and is shown in bold. nd: not detected. / : not analyzed.
