We found that the naive CTL repertoire of both groups contains cross-reactive CTLs inducible by the HCV peptide recognizing both CYP2A6 and CYP2A7 peptides as well as endogenously processed CYP2A6 protein.
We examined two genetic polymorphisms of the metabolic enzymes cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) in 58 Japanese hepatitis C virus-seropositive HCC patients.
