TLDR
IL28B genotype and hepatic expression of ISGs are independent predictors of response to treatment with pegIFN-α and ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Microbial Translocation in the Pathogenesis of HIV Infection and AIDS

TL;DR: In vivo studies demonstrated that HIV/SIV-associated microbial translocation results from a series of immunopathological events occurring at the GI mucosa, and a key pathogenic event appears to be innate immunity activation via Toll-like receptors and other pathogen recognition receptors.

Regulation of hepatic innate immunity by hepatitis C virus

TL;DR: Recent insights into how HCV regulates innate immune signaling within the liver reveal a complex interaction of patient genetic background with viral and host factors of innate immune triggering and control that imparts the outcome of HCV infection and immunity.

Immune Responses to HCV and Other Hepatitis Viruses

TL;DR: It is suggested that prolonged innate immune activation by HCV impairs the development of successful adaptive immune responses, and comparative immunology provides insights into the maintenance of immune protection.

Random Forests

TL;DR: Internal estimates monitor error, strength, and correlation and these are used to show the response to increasing the number of features used in the forest, and are also applicable to regression.

Genetic variation in IL28B predicts hepatitis C treatment-induced viral clearance.

TL;DR: It is reported that a genetic polymorphism near the IL28B gene, encoding interferon-λ-3 (IFN-α-2a) is associated with an approximately twofold change in response to treatment, both among patients of European ancestry and African-Americans.
