| Abstract: | Interferon plays a critical role in the host's natural defense against viral infections and in their treatment. It is the only therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; however, many virus isolates are resistant. Several HCV proteins have been shown to possess properties that enable the virus to evade the interferon-mediated cellular antiviral responses. |
