## Abstract A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for hepatitis C viral RNA (HCV‐RNA) was used to monitor viraemia levels in six patients at multiple time points before, during, and after interferon therapy for chronic non‐A, non‐B hepatitis (NANBH). Prior to therapy, serum HCV‐RNA w

W e quantified IgG antibodies to structural (core) and nonstructural (C100-3) hepatitis C virus proteins in 42 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with a 6-mo course of interferon-a. Sera were drawn before and at the end of therapy and also 6 mo after therapy withdrawal; they were stored for l
Precore defective HBV mutants may gradually prevail because of immune selection and explain spontaneous seroconversion from HBeAg to anti-HBe in HBV carriers. We have analyzed whether the presence of precore HBV mutants is a determinant of responsiveness to interferon-a therapy. Fifteen carriers (ni
