I found a paper on the Heppo message board on this subject. It was released just a couple of days ago. "Reported first-ever liver specific receptor". The L-sign receptor for HCV. They also found specific inhibitors, including a monoclonal antibody that block the HCV from binding to the L-sign receptor. I thought some would like to read this. I read about the monoclonal antibody before and it appears to be a natural antibody the body produces. I believe it was found in studies in Isreal a couple years ago and did not seem to go anywhere until now. This could be good news for people current treatment cant' be use on.
