Interferon (IFN) alfa has been used widely for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections but only a small number of patients treated have shown a sustained biochemical and virological response. Anti-envelope E1 and E2 antibody titers were assessed retrospectively before, during, an

Interferon (IFN) receptor mRNA expression patterns in the liver have been shown to correlate with the effectiveness of IFN therapy in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, it is not clear to what extent this factor contributes to the short (primary)-and long (sustained)term resul

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
