Abstract excerpt
High intrahepatic expression levels of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) in chronic hepatitis C patients are associated with poor response to interferon plus ribavirin combination therapy. Expression levels of 16 genes (OAS1, PKR, MxA, ISG15, RIG-I, TLR8, IRF7, IRF9, NFKBIA, IL28A/IL28B, IL29, IL28RA, IL10RB, IFNAR2, and STAT1) that promote antiviral state and 4 genes (SOCS1, SOCS3, Zc3h12a, and A20) that...
