## Abstract An investigation was carried out to determine whether early viral monitoring could predict efficiently the virological response to combination therapy of two different regimens in treatmentβnaΓ―ve chronic hepatitis C patients infected with genotype 1b with high baseline viral load.

## Abstract Patients with high viral load (β₯1.0βΓβ10^5^ IU/ml) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b do not achieve high sustained virological response rates to interferon (IFN)/ribavirin combination therapy. Previous studies suggested that pretreatment amino acid (aa) substitution patterns in the
## Abstract For chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, evaluation of response to peginterferon (PEGβIFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) therapy based on viral kinetics is useful as an early predictor of treatment efficacy, but the underlying mechanisms of the different viral kinetics to treatment are sti
## Abstract This study evaluated an updated chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein for monitoring viral kinetics during treatment with interferon (IFN)βΞ± and ribavirin. Using the CLEIA, serum levels of HCV core protein were measured in 17 patients with
## Abstract Variation at the ILβ28B locus was recently reported to be a significant predictive factor of viral response to pegylatedβinterferon plus ribavirin combination therapy against chronic hepatitis C. Predictive factors for the effect of therapy, including ILβ28B polymorphism rs8099917 and v
