Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we analyzed the possible relationship between interferon (IFN) sensitivity-determining region (ISDR) sequence variation of various hepatitis C virus (HCV) subtypes and serum HCV titers in Indonesian patients without IFN treatment. The viremia titers (mean +/- standard deviation) of HCV subtype 1b (HCV-1b) isolates with low (three or fewer) and high (four or more) numbers of ISDR mutations...
