Interferons and hepatitis C virus
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012 Interferons are not only the first line of defence against viral infections such as hepatitis C virus infections, but they also have important roles during the chronic phase of viral infections. For over 20 years now, recombinant interferon alpha has been used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.

Hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2005 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major public health problem. Up to 3% of the world's population is infected with HCV, and at least 200 000 adults in the UK carry the virus. Of those exposed to HCV, 80% become chronically infected, and at least 30% of carriers develop chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Is Hepatitis C Virus Carcinogenic? [PDF]
Gastroenterology, 2012 Although infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) has become a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma, the mechanisms by which it results in carcinogenesis remain a subject of debate. Here, we explore the possibility that HCV replication impairs cellular DNA damage responses, thereby promoting instability of the infected host cell genome, and that HCV
