Patterns of immune responses to the host-encoded GOR and hepatitis C virus core-derived epitopes with relation to hepatitis C viremia, genotypes, and liver disease severity.

Abstract excerpt

Antibody responses to the GOR epitope and hepatitis C virus (HCV) core were investigated in 136 patients with chronic HCV infection. Patient age (P = .011) and necroinflammatory activity (P < .001) were significantly greater in 92 (67.6%) patients with anti-GOR than in 44 (32.4%) patients without anti-GOR. HCV RNA concentration was significantly higher in patients with anti-GOR (P = .031). HCV 1a or 1b genotypes...
