Abstract excerpt
In hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2b infection, viral eradication (sustained viral response; sVR) is obtained in about 40% by interferon monotherapy, whereas a considerable proportion of non-sVR patients exhibit sustained biochemical response (sBR) showing normal biochemical values despite persistent viraemia. However, the mechanism of sBR has not yet been established. In this study, we analysed serial changes...
