Molecular mechanisms that mediate signal transduction by growth inhibitory cytokines are poorly understood. Type I (a and p) interferons (IFNs) are potent growth inhibitory cytokines whose biological activities depend on induced changes in gene expression. IFN-a induced transient activation of phosp
The aim of the study was to assess the role of different viral strains of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in determining the outcome of the alpha-interferon (IFN) therapy. Fifty-seven patients (34 from Italy and 23 from Japan) with HCV-positive liver disease were enrolled in the study. The NS4 region of HCV
