Modeling Suggests a Mechanism of Synergy Between Hepatitis C Virus Entry Inhibitors and Drugs of Other Classes
6 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry inhibitors (EIs) act synergistically with drugs targeting other stages of the HCV lifecycle. The origin of this synergy remains unknown. Here, we argue that the synergy may arise from the complementary activities of the drugs across cell subpopulations expressing different levels of HCV entry receptors. We employ mathematical modeling of viral kinetics in vitro, where cells with a...
