Dominating expression of negative regulatory factors downmodulates major histocompatibility complex Class-II expression on dendritic cells in chronic hepatitis C infection

Figure 1 Difference between viral load in responders to antiviral therapy (at 0 and 4 wk) vs non-responders (0 and 4 wk). No significant difference in the viral loads of responders vs non-responders at baseline, but when compared between baseline vs 4 wk (at RVR - rapid virological response) the viral load became undetectable in responders, while remained detectable in non-responders.
