## Abstract In order to assess the efficacy of interferon‐α on hepatitis C viral RNA in patients with chronic hepatitis C, we analyzed the levels of HCV RNA in sera and liver tissues of 16 patients pre‐ and posttreatment using a semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction method. Fifteen of 16 patie
Detection and quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels by using the standardized qualitative Amplicor™ HCV and quantitative Amplicor HCV Monitor™ assays (Roche Molecular Systems) were evaluated in 48 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon. Results were compared with an
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication was assessed before and during alpha‐interferon (IFN) treatment in 22 anti‐HCV positive patients with posttransfusion or sporadic chronic hepatitis (CH). Eleven patients were “responders” and 11 patients “non‐responders” to IFN. Thirteen anti‐HCV nega
## Abstract The pathogenic role of immune‐mediated mechanisms in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we report different cytokine expression profiles from hemodialysis (HD) and non‐HD HCV (+) patients. IL‐1β, IL‐2, IL‐4, IL‐6, TNF‐α, and TGF‐β1 seru
