GB virus C (GBV-C) is related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) and has a similar genomic structure. Some predictors for the efficacy of interferon (IFN) therapy on HCV have been reported: genotype, viral load, IFN dose, and the amino acid substitutions in the NS5A region, designated as the interferon sens
Amino acid (aa) mutations in the interferon-sensitivity determining region (ISDR) (aa position 237-276 of the nonstructural region 5A [NS5A] protein consisting of 447 amino acids) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are related to increased interferon sensitivity and low viral load, but its mechanism has not
A part of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) amino acid sequence, designated as an interferon (IFN)-sensitive determining region (ISDR), has been shown to be correlated with a response to IFN in Japanese patients. We have shown previously that the presence of NS5A antibodies
