Objective. Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is a systemic vasculitis, usually associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The molecular mechanisms responsible for HCV-associated MC (HCV-MC) vasculitis are largely unknown. This study was undertaken to assess the expression profile of selected genes
In hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, persistent viraemia can occur after successful biochemical response to interferon treatment. To assess whether this unusual profile might be due to trivial amounts of remaining virus or to the emergence of less pathogenic HCV strains, preand posttreatment sera f
