Abstract excerpt
Two genomic regions of hepatitis C virus (HCV), the interferon sensitivity-determining region (ISDR) of the non-structural 5A gene (NS5A) and the protein kinase-RNA activated (PKR)-eukariotic transcription factor (eIF2-alpha) phosphorylation homology domain (PePHD) of the structural E2 gene, interact in vitro with the interferon-inducible cellular PKR protein kinase. Mutations within these regions might,...
