## Abstract To determine the virological factors associated with a favorable longβterm response to interferonβΞ± (IFN) therapy in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, 61 Japanese patients with chronic HCV infection were treated with IFN for 24 weeks (780 million units in total) and followed fo
Extensive serological testing and HCV RNA determination by RT-PCR was performed in serum, PBMCs, and liver tissue i n thirteen anti-HCV reactive patients with persistently normal liver tests. Absolute concordance in the status of HCV RNA between serum, PBMCs, and liver was noted. Five patients were
