BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus(HCV)causes a large number of infections worldwide.New infections seem to be increasing according to a report of the World Health Organization in 2015.Although direct-acting antivirals are ...

AIM: To construct a tricistronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon with double internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes) of only 22 nucleotides for each, substituting the encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) IRESes, which ar...
AIM:The significance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) serum titers has been examined in several clinical situations. There is much evidence that patients with a lower viral load have better response rates to anti-viral ther...
AIM: To clarify the effect of SEN virus (SENV) infection on a combination therapy including interferon alfa (IFN-α) or pegylated-IFN with ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis and the effect of a combination t...
AIM:Hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection is very common among end-stage kidney disease patients on hemodialysis,but its natural history is not known. METHODS:In this study,189 dialysis patients(case) positive for HCV antib...
AIM:To test whether in vitro incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with interferon (IFN) could efficiently decrease hepatitis C virus-RNA (HCV-RNA) amount and to analyze whether this effect was assoc...

AIM: To analyze the molecular evolution of different viral genomic regions of HCV in an acute HCV infected patient chronically infected with HIV through a 42-month follow-up.METHODS: Serum samples of a chronically HIV...
AIM:To evaluate the potential of laparoscopy in the diagnosis of cirrhosis and outcome of interferon treatment in HCV-infected patients. METHODS:In this retrospective study,diagnostic laparoscopy with laparoscopic liv...

AIM:Cytokine release by macrophages critically determines the type of immune response to an antigen.Therefore,we studied hepatitis C virus(HCV)-specific induction of interleukins-1β,-10,-12(IL-1β,IL-10,IL-12),and tu...
Supported by a grant of DFG (SFB 402 Teilprojekt C1 (Mihm));by a grant of Hoffmann La Roche (Grenzach-Wyhden, Germany);Part of the data has been presented as poster at the 1999 EASL-meeting in Neaples
AIM: To analyze the association of HCV-RNA with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to answer the question whether HCV-RNA positivity in PBMC is due to viral replication. METHODS: HCV-RNA was monitored in se...
