Since 1980, the Transfusion-transmitted Viruses Study (TTVS) (1974-1980) has continued to maintain its computerized database and stored sera to enable ongoing study of new transfusion events since the 1970s. Most recently, we have used this resource to study parameters of acute hepatitis C virus (HC

## Abstract Interferon‐α (IFN‐α) has been used to treat hepatitis C Virus (HCV)‐induced infection but has been effective in only about half of all patients. It is suggested that the different responses to IFN‐α treatment in HCV infection may be influenced by HCV genotypes, HCV RNA titer at the begi
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
