Comparison of Structural Architecture of HCV NS3 Genotype 1 versus Pakistani Genotype 3a
This study described the structural characterization of Pakistani HCV NS3 GT3a in parallel with genotypes 1a and 1b NS3. We investigated the role of amino acids and their interaction patterns in different HCV genotypes by crystallographic modeling. Different softwares were used to study the interaction pattern, for example, CLCBIO sequence viewer, MODELLER, NMRCLUST, ERRAT score, and MODELLER. ...
متن کاملResponse rates to standard interferon treatment in HCV genotype 3a.
BACKGROUND Chronic Hepatitis C infection infects almost 130 to 170 million or approximately 2.2-3% of world's population. HCV is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease leading to progressive liver injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is also one of the leading indications for liver transplantation worldwide. The objective of the study was to determine the response of treatm...
متن کاملsequence and structural analysis of 3' untranslated region of hepatitis c virus, genotype 3a, from pakistani isolates
conclusions sequence and structural diversity of the 3'utr variable region and poly u/uc region found in the local isolates indicate specificity in the regulating elements of 3'utr that might be associated with differential replication efficacy of the hcv pakistani isolates. the study necessitates functional characterization of these regulating elements to elucidate variable viral eff...
متن کاملComparison of Hcv Rna and Hcv Core Antigen in Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
Background: Anti-HCV test is currently used in the diagnosis of hepatitis C, while hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) is used in the determination of viral load. Recently developed hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCV Ag) test is also used in the diagnosis of hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to compare HCV Ag and quantitative HCV RNA in terms of sensitivity and specificity as wel...
متن کاملOver-expression and characterization of NS3 and NS5A of Hepatitis C virus genotype 3a
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a common and leading cause for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current therapies to treat HCV infection are shown to be partially effective and poorly tolerated. Therefore, ample efforts are underway to rationally design therapies targeting the HCV non-structural proteins. Most of the work carried out in this direction has been focusing mainly...
