Abstract excerpt
Interferon (IFN) in combination with ribavirin is the main treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The sensitivity or resistance of the virus to IFN has been linked to certain types of the interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR) and PKR-eIF2alpha phosphorylation homology domain (PePHD) sequences in the NS5A and E2 regions of the viral genome, respectively. In search of the other potential...
