2. FIG. 1
Early serum chemokine responses to the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Values are geometric means (95% CI for geometric mean); p values are generated by a t-test of 0–24 h within group (long underline) and between group (short underline) differences.

3. FIG. 2
Receiver-operator characteristics for the macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α and MIP-1β increase at 24 h after the initiation of interferon-α therapy. The basis of this analysis is a continuous variable (chemokine value) and an actual state variable [sustained virological response (SVR)/no SVR]. A choice of cut-off will define values as being positive or negative, and a comparison of this value with the actual state gives the estimate of sensitivity and specificity. Different cut-off values then define the blue curve in the plot. Both observed areas are significant and cut-off values can be deduced by inspecting the plot coordinates and their corresponding chemokine values (not shown).
