SummaryThe 2′-5′ oligoadenyIate synthetase (2-5 AS) activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and serum was measured in 23 patients with chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis during interferon therapy, 16 of whom were found to have antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV). Patients received a daily dose of either 1 million, 3 million or 6 million units of human interferon-αor-β for 4 to 6 weeks. Before treatment, the 2-5 AS activity was not significantly different from that in normal control subjects or patients with chronic hepatitis B. However, during treatment the 2-5 AS activity increased 2- to 41-fold from the initial level. AIanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels normalized promptly after the start of treatment in 15 (65.2%) of the 23 patients, but remained elevated in the remaining 8 (34.8%). Six (40%) of the 15 patients showed consistently normal ALT levels for 6 to 30 months after the end of treatment. There was no significant difference between the responders and non-responders in the pattern of change of 2-5 AS activity, but pretreatment activity levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were significantly higher (P< 0.001) in the patients whose ALT levels did not normalize during treatment. The frequency of patients with a positive anti-HCV was significantly higher (P< 0.05) in the group in which ALT levels normalized. Therefore, these findings suggest that the pretreatment 2-5 AS activity and the detection of anti-HCV may be useful parameters for predicting the response to interferon therapy.
