Immune evasion versus recovery after acute hepatitis C virus infection from a shared source

Abstract excerpt

Acute infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) rarely is identified, and hence, the determinants of spontaneous resolution versus chronicity remain incompletely understood. In particular, because of the retrospective nature and unknown source of infection in most human studies, direct evidence for emergence of escape mutations in immunodominant major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted epitopes leading to...
