## Abstract The interferon sensitivity‐determining region (ISDR) is thought to be inhibited by the double‐stranded RNA‐dependent protein kinase (PKR). Several studies have reported a relationship between the ISDR and interferon (IFN) responsiveness. However, this relationship is controversial. The

## Abstract Interferon induces remission in about 50% of patients with chronic hepatitis C, but it is difficult to predict which patients will respond. Host and viral factors were evaluated for correlation with response to interferon in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Recombinant interferon alph
## Abstract Response to lamivudine treatment longer than 1 year was compared in 15 patients persistently infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype A, 38 with genotype B, and 449 with genotype C. Patients with genotype A were younger (median age 37 [range 24–49] vs. 47 [24–67] or 44 [18–73], __
In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the influence of the genetic heterogeneity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the progression of liver disease and on the responsiveness to interferon therapy is a matter of controversy. In this study we evaluated the genetic complexity of HCV by singlestrand con
