  2. 1. Study of Resistance in Hepatitis C Virus Prior to Treatment with Direct Acting Antivirals

    Author : Midori Kjellin; Johan Lennerstrand; Nina Weis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hepatitis C; HCV; DAA; RAS; resistance-associated substitution; baseline resistance; NS5A; NS3; SVR; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : The rapid advancement of Hepatitis C (HCV) treatment presents a great challenge to clinicians in optimising therapy for their patients. Genotype (GT), efficacy, side-effects, drug combinations and treatment durations must be tailored to individual patients, considering comorbidities, degree of fibrosis, adherence and antiviral resistance.

    Abstract : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease and viral hepatitis around the world. Approximately 180 million people or 3% of the world's population are infected with the virus. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development and evaluation of new therapeutic interventions for chronic hepatitis C virus infection

    Author : Fredrik Holmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major global health problem with around 130-150 million individuals chronically infected and it is estimated that 2 millions are newly infected each year. The HCV infection is one of the major causes of liver disease and the infection is characterized by a slow and silent progression. READ MORE

    Author : Anna Pasetto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major cause of liver disease and it is estimated that around 170 millions of people are infected worldwide. The available therapy is a combination of pegylated-interferon-alpha, ribavirin and since 2011, also NS3/4A protease inhibitors boceprevir and telaprevir. READ MORE

  7. 5. Protein interactions involved in viral replication characterized by T7 phage display

    Author : Hamid Houshmand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; protein-protein interaktion; fagdisplayteknik; HCV; polyomavirus; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Virology; medicinsk virologi;

    Abstract : Protein interactions are essential for many cellular processes. By utilizing protein-protein interactions, viruses can infect their host cells and replicate. Phage display can be used for identification and characterization of protein-protein interactions. READ MORE
