Hepatitis C virus (HCV) load is one of the most important predictive factors of response to interferon treatment. However, little is known about the mode and determinants of viremia. The mode of viremia was investigated in 78 patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection during 1-2 years follow up
## Abstract The degree of variability of the interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR) in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome has been postulated to predict the response to interferon therapy, mainly in patients infected with subtype 1b, although this prediction has been the subject of a long
Amino acid (aa) mutations in the interferon-sensitivity determining region (ISDR) (aa position 237-276 of the nonstructural region 5A [NS5A] protein consisting of 447 amino acids) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are related to increased interferon sensitivity and low viral load, but its mechanism has not
## Abstract The interferon sensitivityโdetermining region (ISDR) is thought to be inhibited by the doubleโstranded RNAโdependent protein kinase (PKR). Several studies have reported a relationship between the ISDR and interferon (IFN) responsiveness. However, this relationship is controversial. The
