Interferon Alfa Regulated Gene Expression in Patients Initiating Interferon Treatment for Chronic Hepatitis C
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Interferon alfa (IFN-alpha) is an approved therapeutic agent for chronic hepatitis C. To directly characterize the effects of IFN-alpha in humans, we used microarrays to profile gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from hepatitis C patients treated with IFN-alpha. Seven patients were studied using two strategies: (1) in vivo: PBMCs were collected immediately before the first dose of...
