Serum ratio of γ-GT/ALT activity rather than ISDR variability is predictive for virological responsiveness to IFN-α therapy in patients infected by HCV genotypes 1A, 1B, and 3A

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in humans is treated at present with interferon (IFN)-␣. Because the proportion of patients responding to therapy with sustained or even just with transient elimination of viral RNA is low, several potential prognostic parameters have been evaluated to predi
