Ontogeny of hepatitis C virus (HCV) hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) heterogeneity and HVR1 antibody responses over a 3 year period in a patient infected with HCV type 2b.
Hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) sequences of 96 clones at six time-points representing 27 variants in two major and one minor group were identified in a patient with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection over 3 years. Major and selected minor variants were used to design synthetic peptides corresponding to the HVR1 C terminus. Peptide ELISA reactivity with IgG was plotted against the correspo...
متن کاملSignificance of pretreatment analysis of hepatitis C virus genotype 1b hypervariable region 1 sequences to predict antiviral outcome.
The heterogeneity of hypervariable region 1 (HVR1), located at the amino terminus of the E2 envelope, may be involved in resistance to alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) treatment. We investigated whether peculiar HVR1 domain profiles before treatment were associated with the maintenance of sensitivity or the appearance of resistance to treatment. Fifteen patients infected with hepatitis C virus geno...
متن کاملHCV genotype 1a shows a better virological response to antiviral therapy than HCV genotype 1b
BACKGROUND The impact of viral subtype on the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) to antiviral therapy in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C genotype 1 subtype 1a and 1b has not been extensively investigated. The aim of this study is to determine whether the HCV genotype 1 subtypes 1a and 1b respond differently to treatment with PEGylated interferon (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin...
متن کاملEffect of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype on HCV and HIV-1 disease.
The relationship between hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype and HCV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 disease is not well defined. The present study analyzed data from a cohort of 207 HIV-1-infected and 126 HIV-1-uninfected children and adolescents with hemophilia who enrolled in the Hemophilia Growth and Development Study and were followed for 7 years. The mean HCV RNA level was high...
متن کاملGenetic variability of genotype 1 hepatitis C virus isolates from Tunisian haemophiliacs.
This paper reports hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence, genotypes and phylogenetic characteristics in 95 haemophilic Tunisian patients. The studied population included 3 groups of patients according to their date of birth: before 1985 when inactivation procedures for clotting factors was introduced, between 1985 and 1994 when systematic anti-HCV screening of Tunisian blood donors was introduced ...
