Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Expression of the nonstructural protein (NS)3/4A protease in cells infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) results in cleavage of the mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) and disruption of signaling pathways that lead to viral activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and synthesis of type 1 interferons (IFN-alpha/beta). High concentrations of inhibitors of NS3/4A reverse...
