Antiviral Therapy
The current status of antiviral therapy is reviewed, including discussion of older approaches together with more recently developed chemotherapy. Following the introduction dealing with pathophysiological aspects of virus disease, the different approaches to antiviral therapy are presented. The reasons for the slow progress in antiviral therapy are discussed. These include: 1. the necessity of ...
متن کاملAntiviral therapy: a perspective
This paper discusses extracorporeal removal of viral particles and their antigens from the blood as an auxiliary therapy. This hypothesis has not been reported before. In some chronic blood-borne viral infections, the virus remains systemic and persistent for extended periods of time, with adverse effects that weaken the immune system. Blood titers of virus and its toxins are proportional to th...
متن کاملPlasma chemokine levels correlate with the outcome of antiviral therapy in patients with hepatitis C.
Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated with failures of T-cell-mediated immune clearance and with abnormal B-cell growth and activation. We examined the levels of chemokines that bind to CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) to determine whether such chemokines might play a role in the failure of the immune system to clear HCV infection. Elevations in CXC ligand 9 (CXCL9), ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Antiviral Therapy on Serum Cholesterol Levels in Chronic Hepatitis C
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of antiviral therapy on serum total cholesterol (TC) levels and to investigate the factors related to serum TC changes in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients. METHODS A total of 94 CHC patients, the majority of whom were infected with genotype 1 or 2 and were receiving antiviral therapy, were consecutively enrolled. TC levels b...
متن کاملHumanized antibodies for antiviral therapy.
Antibody therapy holds great promise for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections. Murine monoclonal antibodies are relatively easy to produce but are severely restricted for therapeutic use by their immunogenicity in humans. Production of human monoclonal antibodies has been problematic. Humanized antibodies can be generated by introducing the six hypervariable regio...
