Human leukocyte antigen–associated sequence polymorphisms in hepatitis C virus reveal reproducible immune responses and constraints on viral evolution†
9 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: CD8(+) T cell responses play a key role in governing the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and viral evolution enabling escape from these responses may contribute to the inability to resolve infection. To more comprehensively examine the extent of CD8 escape and adaptation of HCV to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I restricted immune pressures on a population level, we sequenced all...
