## Abstract The degree of variability of the interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR) in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome has been postulated to predict the response to interferon therapy, mainly in patients infected with subtype 1b, although this prediction has been the subject of a long

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles can be classified into two major fractions according to their floating density in serum. However, the genomic heterogeneity of each fraction and the relationship between this viral characteristic and interferon (IFN) response in patients with chronic hepatitis are n
In previous studies employing interferons (IFNs) in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, there have been few reliable predictors of sustained responses. We retrospectively evaluated the predictive value of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA measurements in the first few months during consensus interferon
