Abstract excerpt
The interferon (IFN) sensitivity-determining region (ISDR) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A protein is controversially implicated in determining IFN-alpha-sustained viral response for HCV genotype 1-infected patients. Because the NS5A protein interferes with protein kinase antiviral activity, this study attempted to determine whether ISDR amino acid mutation number would correlate better with IFN effectiveness...
