Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is characterized by a number of autoreactive manifestations, such as autoantibody production, cryoglobulinemia and thyroid disorders. We will analyse critically the mechanisms invoked, and partially documented, to explain such manifestations arising in genetically predisposed individuals exposed to HCV.

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with an increase in hepatic steatosis and a decrease in serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and apolipoprotein B (apoB), the main protein constituent of LDL and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).

Inhibition of HCV Replication in HCV Replicon by shRNAs
Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids, 2006We show that the vector-derived long dsRNA specifically inhibits the replication of HCV RNA in HCV replicon. We designed a long dsRNA targeted to the full-length HCV IRES/core elements (1-to 377-nt). Our results revealed that the replication of HCV RNA was reduced to near background levels in a sequence-specific manner by the long dsRNAs in the HCV ...

HCV seroreactivity and detection of HCV RNA in cirrhotics
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1999This study was carried out to determine the presence of HCV infection in cirrhotic patients and to compare their serologic profiles with detection of HCV RNA by RT-PCR. Liver function profiles were assessed and correlated with infection. Coinfection of HCV with HBV was studied in the Indian context Sera from 62 patients of biopsy confirmed cirrhosis ...

Lymphocyte Subsets in Hemodialyzed HCV+ and HCV– Patients
Nephron, 1998The aim of our study was to get information on the immune status of patients who undergo haemodialysis in the presence of an HCV infection. This virus infects not only hepatocytes, but also blood mononuclear cells, in particular B cells [1], but we do not know the role of this lymphocyte involvement in the maintenance and progression of hepatitis.

Knowledge about vertical transmission of HCV is still limited. In this study we followed up the virological status of a series of offspring born to anti-HCV positive, anti-HIV negative mothers.Between January 1993 and January 1995, 5000 consecutive, anti-HIV negative pregnant women were screened for anti-HCV (ELISA III) and all positive samples were ...
