Abstract excerpt
An interaction between the protein kinase (PKR)-eIF2-alpha phosphorylation homology domain (PePHD) within the E2 protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and cell protein kinase (PKR) may affect the control of protein synthesis and cell growth. In an attempt to investigate the genetic variability of the E2-PePHD domain in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we studied sera and liver tissues from HCC patients. The partial...
