Opis

A hardbound compendium of Volume 20, Numbers 1 and 2 of the journal, Seminars
in Liver Disease, this new volume brings together an international group of
distinguished authors to present 16 current, incisive reviews and analyses of
both the basic science and clinical aspects of HCV.
The volume examines the broadest spectrum of HCV virology, pathology, and
disease while focusing on the following key issues:

• HCV's impact on human populations
  
• The manifestations of the virus & its
  distribution throughout the body
  
• HCV molecular virology with an emphasis on its
  clinical implications
  
• Identification of pharmaceutical targets and vaccine
  components and an analysis of genotypes and interferon sensitivity

In addition, the volume examines the clinical consequences of HCV infection,
including immune response to HCV, B-cell abnormalities, diagnostic tests,
kinetic studies, interferon-ribavirin combination therapy, liver
transplantation, and vaccine development.
