Serum IFN-α1 and IFN-β expression in chronic hepatitis C patients (n = 29) and healthy individuals (n = 21). IFN-α1 and IFN-β levels in the serum were measured by ELISA from all enrolled subjects. Comparison of (A) IFN-α1 and (B) IFN-β expression in the serum of chronic hepatitis C and healthy individuals. Significances were determined using Mann-Whitney test or Student’s t test. (C) Correlation between serum IFN-α1 and HCV RNA was determined using Spearman correlation analysis. (D) Correlation between serum IFN-β and HCV RNA was determined using Pearson correlation analysis. (E) Correlation between serum IFN-α1 and ALT was determined using Spearman correlation analysis. (F) Correlation between serum IFN-β and ALT was determined using Spearman correlation analysis. Comparison of (G) IFN-α1 and (H) IFN-β expression in the serum of different HCV genotypes. Significances were determined using Dunn’s multiple comparison test or one-way ANOVA. Individual level for each enrolled subject was shown.
