Abstract
A method of monitoring treatment of HCV by oral administration of ovine IFN-τ is disclosed. The method includes measuring the blood levels of 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase prior to and after such oral administration, and if necessary, adjusting the dose of IFN-τ until a measurable increase in blood 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase level, relative to the level observed prior to administration, is observed. Also disclosed are oral-delivery compositions for use in treating HCV in an HCV-infected patient comprising ovine IFN-τ, in a dosage effective to stimulate bloodstream levels of 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase.
