Reversion of anergy signatures in clonal CD21low B cells of mixed cryoglobulinemia after clearance of HCV viremia. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) by driving clonal expansion of IgM+CD27+ B cells. These cells display both the features of anergy induced by continual engagement of the B cell receptor (BCR), such as high expression of ...

Retreatment Options Following HCV Direct-Acting Antiviral Failure [PDF]
Despite the excellent efficacy of direct acting antivirals (DAA) for hepatitis C virus (HCV), treatment failures do occur. Until recently, retreatment decisions after DAA failure were influenced by the number of available agents, concerns about HCV drug resistance, and lack of data regarding retreatment.

Unmet needs of chronic hepatitis C in the era of direct-acting antiviral therapy [PDF]
The treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has been revolutionized in an era of all-oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) since 2014. Satisfactory treatment efficacy and tolerability can be provided by novel DAAs.

HIV/HCV Antiviral Drug Interactions in the Era of Direct-acting Antivirals [PDF]
Therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and chronic hepatitis C has evolved over the past decade, resulting in better control of infection and clinical outcomes; however, drug-drug interactions remain a significant hazard. Joint recommendations from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the Infectious Diseases Society of ...
