Sixty-five patients with histologically proven chronic active hepatitis of unknown cause but associated with the antiliver/kidney microsome antibody type 1, confirmed by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation, were selected as forming a special entity. This disease was found to be rare with a pr

Interferon (IFN) alfa has been used widely for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections but only a small number of patients treated have shown a sustained biochemical and virological response. Anti-envelope E1 and E2 antibody titers were assessed retrospectively before, during, an
Antibodies directed to hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have recently been shown to neutralize the corresponding HCV isolate in vitro. We analyzed the appearance of antibodies directed to HVR1 during the course of infection in a large group of patients who have been infected
## Abstract The relative value of an anti‐hepatitis C virus (HCV) serological assay and reverse transcriptase‐nested polymerase chain reaction assays (RT‐PCR) were investigated for the constant 5′ putative noncoding region of HCV for the diagnosis of HCV‐associated chronic liver diseases in India.
## Abstract The interferon sensitivity‐determining region (ISDR) is useful as a predictive marker of the response to interferon (IFN) therapy for chronic hepatitis patients with a Japan‐specific subtype (J‐type) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. This marker is not useful for predicting respon
