Abstract excerpt
We investigated the relationship between global gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) during the first 4 weeks of peginterferon alfa and ribavirin therapy and long-term eradication of hepatitis-C genotype 1 infections in 23 patients. A sustained virologic response (SVR), defined as an undetected serum HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) at week 72, was the virologic response endpoint. PBMC RNA was...
