To evaluate the clinical significance of sequence variations in the hypervariable region of hepatitis C virus during the course of chronic infection, we performed pairwise comparison of the predominant nucleotide sequences. Hepatitis C virus RNA was extracted from two plasma samples obtained from 12

## Sequence heterogeneity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is unevenly distributed along the genome, and maximal variation is confined to a short sequence of the HCV second envelope glycoprotein (E2), designated hypervariable region 1 (HVR1), whose biological function is still undefined. We prospectivel
Ten patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (experimental group) were treated with interferon-a (IF-a). Dosage was six million units per day for one week and then three times a week for another six months. Seven HCV-infected patients (control group) did not receive IF-a therapy. The hypervar
The putative interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR) in the NS5a region of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) was analyzed in 13 interferon alpha (IFN-β£) treated patients representing genotypes 1a, 1b, and 2b. These patients had previously been followed longitudinally during treatment with respect
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may result in acute resolving or chronic infection. Patients that clear the infection have a more vigorous cellular immune response and an early humoral response to the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of the E2 envelope protein. To analyse further the pro
