Journal ArticleDOI

Expanded classification of hepatitis C virus into 7 genotypes and 67 subtypes: Updated criteria and genotype assignment web resource

TL;DR: This study represents a major update to the previous consensus HCV classification, incorporating additional sequence information derived from over 1,300 (near‐)complete genome sequences of HCV available on public databases in May 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic analysis of the host response to hepatitis C virus infection.

TL;DR: Gene expression analysis of liver biopsies in acutely infected chimpanzees reveals genome-wide transcriptional changes that reflect the establishment, spread, and control of infection, and they reveal potentially unique antiviral programs associated with clearance of HCV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Heterogeneity of Hepatitis C Virus: Quasispecies and Genotypes

TL;DR: It is revealed that HCV exists as multiple, distinct genotypes, and phylogenetic analyses of complete and partial nucleotide sequences from isolates that represent all published variants of HCV revealed that the genetic relatedness among some of the genotypes was not equivalent in the different gene regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral and immunological determinants of hepatitis C virus clearance, persistence, and disease

TL;DR: The results indicate that HCV spread outpaces the T cell response and thatHCV rapidly induces but is not controlled by IFN-α/β; that viral clearance follows the entry and accumulation of HCV-specific IFN -γ-producing T cells in the liver; and that it may not require the destruction of infected cells.
