Hepatitis C Virus Nonstructural 5A Protein and Interferon Resistance: a New Model for Testing the Reliability of Mutational Analyses
4 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Presumably due to the capability of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) to evade the antiviral effects of alpha interferon, treatment is ineffective in more than half of chronically genotype HCV type 1 (HCV-1)-infected patients. Previous approaches to correlate the number of amino acid mutations within regions of HCV nonstructural (NS)-5A protein with virologic treatment response provided conflicting results. In the...
