Abstract

We studied sera samples from 176 of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with the use of ELISA method to detect antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5 protein (anti-NS5) and antibodies to HCV IgM (anti-HCV IgM) as possible predictors of response to interferon therapy. Anti-NS5 were revealed in 63,1% of patients, anti-HCV IgM - in 48,6%, their revealing correlated with increased ALT levels (p < 0,05). Virologic response to interferon therapy course was revealed significantly more frequently in those without anti-NS5 (62,5%, p = 0,038) and anti-HCV IgM (75,0%, p = 0,040). Both anti-NS5 and anti-HCV IgM showed predictive value of response to interferon therapy of CHC. The study of anti-HCV IgM during the interferon therapy can be useful for evaluation of treatment efficacy.
