Treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C with recombinant interferon alfa (rIFN-alpha) can cause a decrease of serum transaminases and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA. Recent trials evaluating combination therapy of IFN-alpha and ribavirin suggested a potential synergistic effect. From serial meas
Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have been shown to play a role in host defense and pathogenesis of chronic HCV infection. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that intrahepatic HCV-specific CTL activity may impact subsequent response to interferon alfa (IFN-␣) therapy. O
Clinical recurrence of hepatitis C after liver transplantation can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and death. In patients undergoing liver transplantation for hepatitis C, we assessed the efficacy of interferon alfa-2b (IFN) in preventing recurrent hepatitis. We randomized 86 patients to either an
