## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) variation in specific Tβcell epitopes may represent a mechanism of viral persistence in chronic infection. We examined the HCV nonβstructural protein 3 (NS3), including the immunologically relevant epitopes HCV NS3β2 KLVALGINAV (human leukocyte antigen [HLA]βA2βr

## Abstract The hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) has been most reliably identified in the genome of HCV genotype 1 isolates and thought to possibly play a role in immune evasion and development of chronic infection. There are few studies, however, of other HCV genotypes to determine if they also have
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV), exhibits considerable genetic diversity, but presents a relatively well conserved 5β² noncoding region (5β² NCR) among all genotypes. In this study, the structural features and translational efficiency of the HCV 5β² NCR sequences were analyzed using the programs R
## Abstract The eight genotypes of hepatitis B virus (HBV), AβH, have a characteristic geographical distribution. The high prevalence of genotype E within a wide expanse of Africa makes it important to characterize this genotype. Although the preS/S region of a large number of genotype E isolates h
Interferon β£ (IFN β£) can suppress the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in chronically infected patients. However, HCV persists in a significant number of patients despite the normalization of alanine transaminase (ALT) during IFN β£ therapy. In this study, HCV variants in patients under IFN β£ t
