Evaluation of IL-28B polymorphisms and serum IP-10 in hepatitis C infected chimpanzees.
In humans, clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with genetic variation near the IL-28B gene and the induction of interferon-stimulated genes, like IP-10. Also in chimpanzees spontaneous clearance of HCV is observed. To study whether similar correlations exist in these animals...
