## Abstract Phenotypes of liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection show a wide range of variations in terms of histological manifestations and the clinical outcome. Sensing of viral doubleβstranded RNA (dsRNA) by Tollβlike receptor 3 (TLR3) is likely involved in early pathogen
We investigated the presence of positive (genomic) and negative (replicative intermediate) hepatitis C virus RNA strands in liver, peripheral mononuclear cells and serum from patients with chronic hepatitis C using a selective and semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction procedure. Negative and po
The relationships among host immune and viral factors and the severity of liver disease due to hepatitis C virus (HCV) are poorly understood. Previous studies have focused on individual components of the immune response to HCV, often in relatively small numbers of patients. We measured HCV-specific
