✦ Synopsis

Previous studies from Japan have described an association between a conserved sequence within the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome and resistance to interferon (IFN) therapy for patients infected with HCV genotype 1b [

A striking association has been demonstrated recently between mutations in amino acid residues 2209-2248 of the nonstructural protein 5a (NS5a) region of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and sustained responses to interferon in Japanese patients infected with genotype 1b. Therefore, analysis of this sequence

Patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3 have a better response to interferon-␣ (IFN-␣) therapy than those infected with genotype 1. There are extensive sequence differences between genotypes in the 3Ј half of the NS5a gene. An association between IFN-␣ response and the interferon s

A region associated with sensitivity to interferon (IFN) has been identified previously in the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. A study was undertaken to determine whether the presence of mutations in the NS5A 2209-2248 sequence could serve as a predictor of re

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has many genotypes which are closely associated with the severity of chronic hepatitis and the response to antiviral therapy. Although HCV is essentially hepatotropic, several lines of evidence suggest that this virus can infect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in mo
