Multiple factors influence the interaction between HCV
and the infected host such that the presentation of th
e disease is very individual and variable. Due to lack
of small animal model and efficient cell culture model
studies of himmunopathogenesis of HCV have been
hindered. Therefore, most studies have been observat
ional in infected patients and their results have been
very difficult to interpret due to multiple variations
in methodologies and host immune response.
