## Abstract Fifty consecutive patients with genotype 2 or 3 chronic hepatitis C were treated with peg‐IFN alfa‐2a 135 µg weekly and ribavirin (11 mg/kg body weight) daily during 24 weeks. Rapid viral response treatment week 4, end‐of‐treatment response, and sustained viral response were analyzed by
## Abstract Differences between the translation efficiencies mediated by the 5′‐untranslated regions (5′‐UTR) of genotypes (gt) 1 and 3 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been reported but it is unknown if such differences are biologically significant. The 5′‐UTR was sequenced from paired serum and li
## Abstract Interferon (IFN) induces the double‐stranded RNA‐dependent protein kinase (PKR) to inhibit viral replication. Two motifs of the PKR‐binding domain exist in the E2 and the NS5A regions of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). These regions are called the PKR‐eukaryotic transcription factor (elF2‐
