Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mathematical models explain how antivirals control viral infections. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment results in at least 2 phases of decline in viremia. The first phase reflects clearance of rapidly produced virions. The second phase is hypothesized to derive from loss of infected cells but has been challenging to prove. METHODS: Using single-cell methods, we quantified the number of hepatitis C...
