Effects of interferon treatment on the antiviral T-cell response in hepatitis C virus genotype 1b- and genotype 2c-infected patients

open access: yes, 1997
The viral genotype may influence the response to interferon (IFN) treatment in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. To characterize potential mechanisms responsible for this effect, we assessed whether IFN modulation of HCV-specific T-cell ...

Persistent growth of a human plasma-derived hepatitis C virus genotype 1b isolate in cell culture. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
HCV (hepatitis C virus) research, including therapeutics and vaccine development, has been hampered by the lack of suitable tissue culture models. Development of cell culture systems for the growth of the most drug-resistant HCV genotype (1b) as well as ...

KDAC6 alters cell morphology and motility through positive and negative modulation of F‐actin distribution

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KDAC6 has been associated with cell motility and actin structures, but specific domain contributions are not established. The two catalytic domains have differential effects on motility and F‐actin regulation, affecting cortical F‐actin density, motility, stress fibers, and cell spreading.

Genótipos do VHC. Histopatologia hepática e perfil imunológico em quatro grupos de doentes.

open access: yesActa Médica Portuguesa, 2000
Study on the prevalence of MCV genotypes, and correlation with liver pathology and immunological parameters.77 chronic hepatitis C patients (52 males, 25 females), mean age 44 +/- 14 years, belonging to four groups: (1) 23 (11 males) without other ...

The mutant spectrum for HCV genotype 1b.

open access: yes, 2019
(A) The time-evolution of population of virions carrying different codons, color coded by the amino acids they encode. (B) The mutational pathway map with CGG, the wild-type codon for HCV genotype 1b at position 155 of the NS3 protein, as the founder ...

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Using NS5B Sequencing for Hepatitis C Virus Genotyping Reveals Discordances with Commercial Platforms.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
We aimed to evaluate the correct assignment of HCV genotypes by three commercial methods-Trugene HCV genotyping kit (Siemens), VERSANT HCV Genotype 2.0 assay (Siemens), and Real-Time HCV genotype II (Abbott)-compared to NS5B sequencing.

Inhibitory effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester derivatives on replication of hepatitis C virus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) has been reported as a multifunctional compound. In this report, we tested the effect of CAPE and its derivatives on hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in order to develop an effective anti-HCV compound. CAPE and CAPE

CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*1B and MDR1 C3435T Genotype Distributions in Ecuadorians [PDF]

open access: yesDisease Markers, 2008
Polymorphisms in CYP3A genes, such as CYP3A5 and CYP3A4, as well as in the MDR1 gene, which encodes for P‐glycoprotein, have been implicated as genetic markers in several disorders. Differences in the frequency distribution of the allelic variants CYP3A5*3, CYP3A4*1B, and MDR1 3435T have been demonstrated between distinct ethnic groups.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...
