## Abstract Interferon alpha (IFN) has been the standard treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Using the kinetic curves of viral clearance, this study compared three treatment regimes based on IFN alone or in combination with Amantadine or Ribavirin to determine the mechanisms of action

## Abstract Although interferon (IFN)‐α and IFN‐γ have been reported to exhibit a synergistic antiviral effect through the different signaling pathways in vitro, their therapeutic efficacy is not well defined in vivo. The current study was carried out to investigate the combined antiviral effect in
Of 74 patients who were infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and received interferon, 12 (16%) were positive for RNA of GB virus C (GBV-C). RNA of GBV-C was determined in sera from the co-infected patients retrospectively, and the effect of interferon on GBV-C was compared with that on HCV in them.
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) kinetics were determined after a single administration of standard interferon (IFN) according to the HCV genotype that affects the response to antiviral therapy with IFN/peginterferon. A total of 208 patients were investigated. All patients received a single admi
The aim of the study was to investigate whether an ''inapparent'' coinfection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in anti-HCV-positive chronic liver disease patients may influence interferon (IFN) response. Fourteen anti-HCV-positive, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative but serum HBV-DNA-positive pa
