Analysis of Interferon Signaling by Infectious Hepatitis C Virus Clones with Substitutions of Core Amino Acids 70 and 91
14 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Substitution of amino acids 70 and 91 in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core region is a significant predictor of poor responses to peginterferon-plus-ribavirin therapy, while their molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here we investigated these differences in the response to alpha interferon (IFN) by using HCV cell culture with R70Q, R70H, and L91M substitutions. IFN treatment of cells transfected or infected with...
