Evasion of intracellular host defense by Hepatitis C virus

Article Abstract:

Hepatitis C enters the body's immune system through a number of processes including signal interference, effector modulation and continual genetic variation. An understanding of the molecular mechanism by which the virus controls the host would help in the search for new therapeutic strategies.

Electromagnetic interference, Genetic variation

Adaptive immune responses in acute and chronic Hepatitis C virus infection

Article Abstract:

A study shows that within six months of exposure to the Hepatitis C virus the outcome of the infection can be determined. Results have shown that the T cells have a central role in the clearance of the virus, but there are other aspects of the adaptive immune system that remain unexplained.

Diagnosis, T cells

Unscrambling Hepatitis C virus - host interactions

Article Abstract:

Hepatitis C has caused enormous suffering to human beings, a large number of people die each year from liver failure caused by this infection. No vaccine is available to combat this virus and antiviral drugs that are used are expensive, partly effective and toxic.
