✦ Synopsis
INTERFERON SENSITIVITY DETERMINING SEQUENCE chronic HCV-1b infection. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 84 patients with chronic HCV-1b infection who OF THE HEPATITIS C VIRUS GENOME had received interferon alfa (total dose, 516-880 MU) for Enomoto N, Sakuma I, Asahina Y, Kurosaki M, Murakami 6 months. Pretreatment serum samples were analyzed. T, Yamamoto C, Izumi N, et al. Comparison of full-length The amino acid sequence of NS5A2209-2248 was detersequences of interferon-sensitive and -resistant hepatitis C mined by direct sequencing of the HCV genome amplivirus 1b.

## 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
Amino acid (aa) mutations in the interferon-sensitivity determining region (ISDR) (aa position 237-276 of the nonstructural region 5A [NS5A] protein consisting of 447 amino acids) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are related to increased interferon sensitivity and low viral load, but its mechanism has not
## Abstract The interferon sensitivity‐determining region (ISDR) is thought to be inhibited by the double‐stranded RNA‐dependent protein kinase (PKR). Several studies have reported a relationship between the ISDR and interferon (IFN) responsiveness. However, this relationship is controversial. The
