Several lines of evidence have suggested that immune mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatitis. Study of patients with dual HBV and HCV infection raises the question of which is etiologically more relevant in determining the
## 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
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) interferon-β£ (IFN-β£) sensitivity-determining region (ISDR) has been shown to suppress double-stranded RNAdependent protein kinase (PKR) activity in vitro in a yeast PKR expression system. Since variability of ISDR was shown to correlate with nonresponsiveness to IFN-β£ the
