pubmed:abstractText |
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current therapy with pegylated interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) in combination with ribavirin is associated with adverse effects and often fails to induce a sustained response. IFN-lambdas, recently discovered IFN gene family members, exhibit antiviral and cell stimulatory activities similar to IFN-alpha. We aimed to determine whether IFN-lambda exhibits antiviral activity toward HCV and to compare the signal transduction and effector gene pathways with those of IFN-alpha.
