Biochemical and structural analysis of the NS5B RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase of the hepatitis C virusJournal of Viral Hepatitis - Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 167-174 - 2000
Volker Lohmann, G Roos, Körner, André Koch, Ralf Bartenschlager
Hepatitis C virus (HCV), the major causative agent of chronic and sporadic non‐A, non‐B hepatitis worldwide, is a distinct member of the Flaviviridae virus family. These viruses have in common a plus‐strand RNA genome that is replicated in the cytoplasm of the infected cell via minus‐strand RNA intermediates. Owing to the lack of reliable cell culture systems and...... hiện toàn bộ
A placebo‐controlled phase I/II study of adefovir dipivoxil in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infectionJournal of Viral Hepatitis - Tập 6 Số 5 - Trang 387-395 - 1999

Summary. To evaluate T cell immunity in advanced liver disease, antigen‐specific lymphoproliferative (LP) responses were prospectively studied in the context of the Hepatitis C Antiviral Long‐term Treatment against Cirrhosis trial. Peripheral blood responses to hepatitis C virus (HCV), tetanus and Candida protein antigens were measured at ...... hiện toàn bộ
