The aim of the study was to investigate whether an ''inapparent'' coinfection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in anti-HCV-positive chronic liver disease patients may influence interferon (IFN) response. Fourteen anti-HCV-positive, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative but serum HBV-DNA-positive pa

## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a positive stranded RNA virus, is the main causative agent of postβtransfusion and sporadic nonβA nonβB hepatitis worldwide. Paired samples of plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 11 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with Ξ±βinterfero
CD56 Ψ T cells are abundant in liver and play an important role in defense against viral infections. However, the role of CD56 Ψ T cells in control of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains to be determined. We investigated the noncytolytic anti-HCV activity of primary CD56 Ψ T cells in human hep
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein has been implicated in the inherent resistance of HCV to interferon (IFN) antiviral therapy in clinical studies. Biochemical studies have demonstrated that NS5A interacts in vitro with and inhibits the IFN-induced, RNAdependent protein kina
## Abstract IFNβΞ± combined with ribavirin is used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. However, HCV has mechanisms to resist the antiviral actions of IFNβΞ±. In order to study the molecular mechanisms of this resistance, the effect of __HCV__ gene expression on IFNβinduced nuclear import of STA
