Finding a role for zalcitabine in the HAART era.

abstract：BACKGROUND:With the advent of the protease inhibitors boceprevir and telaprevir a novel therapy approach for HCV genotype 1 infected subjects has become standard of care. Quantification of HCV viral load (VL) represents an important predictor of treatment response. METHODS:Two different real-time PCR platforms, the CO...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Strong hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T-cell responses are associated with spontaneous clearance of acute hepatitis C. However, recent studies described a decline in HCV-specific CD8+ T-cells during interferon treatment, suggesting that the success of acute HCV therapy might be independent of adaptive immu...
